{"product_id":"growing-up-and-going-out-sarah-kenny-9781526152640","title":"Growing Up and Going Out: Youth Culture, Commerce, and Leisure Space in Post-War Britain","description":"In the decades following the Second World War, youthful sociability was remade as young people across Britain flocked to newly-opened coffee bars, beat clubs, and discos. These spaces, increasingly unknown and unfamiliar to the adults who passed by them, played a remarkable role in reshaping town and city centres after dark as sites of leisure and recreation. Telling the history of youth in post-war Britain from the ground up, through the towns and cities that young people moved through, this book traces how the new spaces of post-war youth leisure transformed both young people's relationship with their local environment and adults' perceptions of the possibilities and dangers of modern leisure. Growing up and going out offers a timely study of youth, commerce, and leisure that explores the reimagination, remaking, and regulation of the post-war city after dark.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Kenny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526152649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526152640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sarah Kenny","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46451199508735,"sku":"9781526152640","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a11b5e9a-3391-43a9-a567-98776003076a.jpg?v=1735876753","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/growing-up-and-going-out-sarah-kenny-9781526152640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
