Blending oral history interviews with contemporaneous reports in the style press, the music press, local and national newspapers, and archival documents stored at the Islington Local History Centre, this book sheds new light upon key clubs, the music, cultural identities, and fashions. The book presents unpublished eyewitness accounts by people from Islington’s council estates that contributed to these scenes to unravel the complex and hitherto poorly understood interrelationship between gang culture, subculture and localised club culture. \u003cspan lang=\"en-IN\" data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eIt argues that the backlash to the perceived unsavoury nature of clubbers and promoters, combined with the onslaught of gentrification in the borough in the late 1990s, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: black; font-family: Aptos,sans-serif;\"\u003eled to the venues being closed down,\u003c\/span\u003e and to this vital moment in the history of UK popular culture being brought to an end.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-01-03\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783031976841\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-031-97685-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 303\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317739450508,"sku":"9783031976841","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031976841.jpg?v=1775055469","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031976841","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
