OVERVIEW:
LIBERATION & Domestication - the
first volume (of three) in John Astley’s Collected
Essays - seeks to investigate aspects of youth policy
from the author’s perspective as a sociologist of
culture. . . The present collection looks at how contemporary
culture impacts on the lives and times of young people
in the United Kingdom - with an emphasis on such themes
as identity, education, popular music, and values. . .As
such, an attempt is made to provide useful insights into
policy making geared to youth services. . .
. . . From “Catch the Blue Train” [on music]
to “Being an Agent of Change” [on young people,
democracy and cultural shifts], the overall focus of these
stimulating essays is on the sociology of culture, which,
whether we realise it or not, affects all of our lives,
while shaping the lives of young people . . .
