It conceives of the linked scenes around black music in London, from ska, reggae and soul in the 1970s, to rare groove and rave in the 1980s and jungle and its offshoots in the 1990s, to dubstep and grime of the 2000s, as demonstrating enough common features to be thought of as one musical culture, an Afro-diasporic continuum. Core to this idea is that this dance culture has been ignored in history and cultural theory and that it should be thought of as a powerful and internationally significant form of popular art.Music and society (Series)MusicSocial aspectsEnglandLondonHistory21st centuryMusicSocial aspectsEnglandLondonHistory20th centuryBlack peopleEnglandLondonMusicHistory and criticismBlack music.Clubs.DJ.Dance.London.Multiculture.Music.Paul Gilroy.Space.Warehouse Party.MusicSocial aspectsHistoryMusicSocial aspectsHistoryBlack peopleMusicHistory and criticism.782.4208691209421Melville Caspar1518148MdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9910793825803321It's a London thing3755541UNINA
