Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. The 1990s was the decade in which Google was launched, Nelson Mandela was released from prison and scientists in Edinburgh cloned a sheep from a single cell. It was also a time in which the President of the United States discussed fellatio on network television and the worlds most photographed woman died in a car crash in Paris. The radical pop band the KLF burned a million quid on a Scottish island and the most-watched programme on TV was Baywatch. For those who lived through it, the 1990s glow in the memory with a beguiling mixture of proximity and distance, familiarity and strangeness. It is the decade about which we know too much, yet understand too little. Ranging far and wide across social history and popular culture, James Brookes-Smith takes us on a refreshingly eclectic journey through its themes and contradictions, exploring the central question of whether the decade should be regarded as a lost golden age of liberal tolerance or as a seedbed for the discontents we face today.

His first book, Gilded Youth: Privilege, Rebellion and the British Public School, was published in by Reaktion Books to excellent reviews in 2019: 'Entertaining and rather racy. the details are glorious and told with relish' Financial Times; 'Highly entertaining cultural history' Alex Renton, Spectator. 15 b/w illustrations A kaleidoscopic history of the 1990s, a decade of fin-de-siecle hope and exuberance plus the events, ideas and people who made and broke it Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardback. Condición: New. The British public school is an iconic institution, a training ground for the ruling elite and a symbol of national identity and tradition. But beyond the elegant architecture and evergreen playing fields is a turbulent history of teenage rebellion, sexual dissidence and political radicalism. James Brooke-Smith wades into the wilder shores of public-school life over the last 300 years in Gilded Youth. He uncovers armed mutinies in the late-eighteenth century, a Victorian craze for flagellation, dandy-aesthetes of the 1920s, quasi-scientific discourse on masturbation, Communist scares in the 1930s and the salacious tabloid scandals of the present day.Drawing on personal experience, extensive research and public school representations in poetry, school slang, spy films, popular novels and rock music, Brooke-Smith offers a fresh account of upper-class adolescence in Britain and the role of elite private education in shaping youth culture. He shows how this central British institution has inspired a counter-culture of artists, intellectuals, and radicals - from Percy Shelley and George Orwell, to Peter Gabriel and Richard Branson - who have rebelled against both the schools themselves and the wider society for which they stand. Written with verve and humour, this is a highly original cultural history in the tradition of Owen Jones's The Establishment: And How They Get Away With It.…
