Books by Andy Bennett

This volume explores the ways in which music scenes are not merely physical spaces for the practice of collective musical life but are also inscribed with and enacted through the articulation of cultural memory and emotional geography.

In his timely book Music, Style, and Aging, cultural sociologist Andy Bennett explains how people move on from youth and effectively grow older with popular music.

Examines the urban and rural spaces in which music is experienced, produced and consumed. Important discourses are explored concerning national culture and identity, as well as how identity is constructed through the exchanges that occur between displaced peoples of the world's many diasporas.

Discusses about youth culture and popular music since the 1950s. This book includes chapters that looks at a specific era of youth and music, including rock 'n' roll, sixties counter-cultural rock, heavy metal, punk, reggae, rap, techno and house. It is suitable to undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in youth culture.

'Culture and Everyday Life' is a clearly written and highly accessible text that provides a comprehensive overview of the key theoretical models applied in the study of contemporary cultural practices and their application in everyday settings.
