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. 410 0$aMusic and society (Series) 606 $aMusic$xSocial aspects$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aMusic$xSocial aspects$zEngland$zLondon$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aBlack people$zEngland$zLondon$xMusic$xHistory and criticism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMusic$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aMusic$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aBlack people$xMusic$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a782.4208691209421 700 $aMelville$b Caspar$0938834 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480583903321 996 $aIt's a London thing$92116333 997 $aUNINA
