| Description: |
Britain is experiencing a sudden reckless rush of liberalisation, from 24 hour licensing to gay marriages. This title features personal stories of life in Brighton with the themes of sex, politics and class to take a look at the changing face of Britain, and at the town which has always been at the vanguard of Britain's cultural evolution. |
| Synopsis: |
Britain is experiencing a sudden reckless rush of liberalisation, from 24 hour licensing to gay marriages. But how did we get from idolising Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier to Jordan and Peter Andre? Funny and bittersweet, Made In Brighton interweaves personal stories of life in Brighton with larger themes of sex, politics and class to take a cold, hard look at the changing face of Britain, and at the town which has always been at the vanguard of Britain's cultural evolution. From punk to dance, dope to coke, the Labour party to hen parties, straight to gay to bi, this book holds a mirror up to the dazed face of Britain and gives it a good hard slap. |
