From Flappers to Rappers
Author: Marcel Danesi
Publisher: Canadian Scholars
ISBN: 1551309548
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
Is youth culture coming to an end? In this exciting new read, Marcel Danesi offers a compelling account of how youth culture emerged and evolved in North America over the course of the twentieth century and why it may be disappearing. Tracing the origins of youth culture in the Roaring Twenties through its evolution from the rock and roll rebels of the 1950s to the counterculture hippies of the 1960s, the punk and disco subcultures of the 1970s, and the rap movement of the 1990s, From Flappers to Rappers demonstrates how the musical genres, lifestyles, ideologies, and social movements that characterized the different eras of youth culture have radically reshaped our world. In engaging and accessible prose, Danesi makes the argument that the current fragmented environment of the Internet cannot sustain a united community of youths. He analyzes how new technology, which previously helped to entrench youth movements in society, is now ironically bringing about the demise of youth culture as we know it. Brimming with thought-provoking examples and accompanied by a student workbook, From Flappers to Rappers will be indispensable for students of sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, and history, as well as for anyone interested in youth and popular culture.
