Description and Table of Contents
Description
When rock 'n' roll began its ascendancy in the 1950s the older generation saw it as dangerous, renegade, threatening the moral stability of a nation. Young people saw it as freedom, and most importantly, as their music. The teenage revolution was here, This book, first published in 1982, traces the roots of this cultural transformation, its emergence in rock 'n' roll and other media, and shows just how violent the confrontation was by looking at contemporary newspaper reports.
