books

Hebdige, Dick (1979). Subculture: The Meaning of StyleHuq,
my text is about the skinhead subculture which links in with this book along with Hebdige being one of my theorist as his studies are about the subcultures and thier dress trends which is very important in my study.
Rupa (2006) 'Beyond subculture' Thornton,

Sarah (1995). Club Cultures: Music, Media, and Subcultural Capital
this book focuses on media representation and music which both tie in with the themes of my text as it shows how cultures were presented in the media and also links in with the unity of blacks and whites throught the love of music in my text.
McKay, George (2005) Circular Breathing: The Cultural Politics of Jazz in Britain
britian has been known for its violence and differences due to music and diff in culture..this is shown in my text where diff people clach due to cultural backgrounds...but love of music.
Skinhead, Suedehead, etc. by Richard Allen
skinheads are the main characters in my text...well the text is based on skinheads so a book about skinheads will help in all ways to understand what skinheads were about as they evolved to stand for different things in diff eras...
other books:
Boot Boys

Dragon Skins
Knuckle Girls
Mod Rule

Trouble For Skinhead (originally to be titled Skinhead In Trouble)
Spirit of '69 - A Skinhead Bible, Marshall, George (1991).
69 is 2 decades before my text was set however this book is indeed helpful as it guides readers to what skinheads did...what movements they had but also shows what trends they had to show that they were skinheads...thats minus bein a skinhead.
