Neither a top down history, nor nostalgic celebration, it reframes the decade around local, national, and global politics of gender, race, age and sexuality.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow that\u0026amp;#x27;s what I call a history of the 1980s tells the story of eighties Britain through its popular culture. Charting era-defining moments from Lady Diana\u0026amp;#x27;s legs and the miner\u0026amp;#x27;s strike to Glastonbury\u0026amp;#x27;s Pyramid Stage and Adam and the Ants, Lucy Robinson weaves together an alternative history to the one we think we know. This is not a history of big geopolitical disasters, or a nostalgic romp through discos, shoulder pads and yuppie culture. Instead, the book explores a mashing together of different genres and fan bases in order to make sense of our recent past and give new insights into the decade that defined both globalisation and excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePacked with archival and cultural research but written with verve and spark, the book offers as much to general readers as to scholars of this period, presenting a distinctive and definitive contemporary history of 1980s Britain, from pop to politics, to cold war cultures, censorship and sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920541696158,"sku":"ING-9781526167248","price":183.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526167248.jpg?v=1782823390","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526167248","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
