{"product_id":"juke-box-britain-adrian-horn-9780719079078","title":"Juke Box Britain: Americanisation and Youth Culture, 1945-60","description":"British teenagers witnessed immense cultural change in the period following the second world war. There were less than 100 juke boxes in Britain in 1945 and over 15,000 by 1958. Over the same period there was a similar unprecedented expansion of casual youth venues in the form of cafés, snack, milk and coffee bars where young people could hear the sounds of hot American jazz and rock 'n' roll. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt has been a common assumption among academics and cultural historians alike that British youth between 1945 and 1960 underwent a period of massive 'Americanisation'. Juke Box Britain contests this view maintaining that American popular-cultural influences were not examples of cultural domination but simply influences that combined with existing styles to create distinctly British style fusions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJuke Box Britain is suitable for students of cultural, social and design histories as well as cultural studies and provides fascinating reading for youth culture and juke box enthusiasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Horn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719079071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719079078\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 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/11\/2009 pg. 15","brand":"Adrian Horn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448910786815,"sku":"9780719079078","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c396f1e-63b2-4823-a718-9745e3f37c47.jpg?v=1777261117","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/juke-box-britain-adrian-horn-9780719079078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
