Additional Book Details
`A polished piece of work which takes a cool and dispassionate look at subculture... Meticulous and insightful′ - Jim McGuigan, Professor of Cultural Analysis, University of Loughborough</p>
<p></p>
<p>This illuminating book, which explores the idea of subcultures, traces the concept back to its foundations in the works of Tonnies and Durkheim and, to a lesser degree, Marx and Weber.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The discussion moves on to an analysis of subcultures in American urban sociology and criminology, through the traditions of the Chicago School, structural functionalism and systems theory. The ground-breaking work of Stuart Hall and the Birmingham School is evaluated and a case is made for the continuing relevance of the concept for sociology and cultural studies.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The book provides:</p>
<p></p>
<p>" An unrivalled critical guide to subculture</p>
<p>" An assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the concept in the study of society and culture</p>
<p>" A sharp assessment of its relevance and application today.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Both an appraisal and a sustained critique of the concept of subculture, the book will be of interest to students of Sociology, Cultural Studies and Urban Studies.
