Specificatii
David Kynaston's history of post-war Britain has so far taken us
from the radically reforming Labour governments of the late 1940s
in Austerity Britain and through the growing prosperity of Family
Britain's more placid 1950s. Now Modernity Britain 1957-62 sees the
coming of a new Zeitgeist as Kynaston gets up close to a turbulent
era in which the speed of social change accelerated. The late 1950s
to early 1960s was an action-packed, often dramatic time in which
the contours of modern Britain began to take shape. These were the
'never had it so good' years, when the Carry On film series got
going, and films like Room at the Top and the first soaps like
Coronation Street and Z Cars brought the working class to the
centre of the national frame; when CND galvanised the progressive
middle class; when 'youth' emerged as a cultural force; when the
Notting Hill riots made race and immigration an inescapable
reality; and when 'meritocracy' became the buzz word of the day. In
this period, the traditional norms of morality were perceived as
under serious threat (Lady Chatterley's Lover freely on sale after
the famous case), and traditional working-class culture was
changing (wakes weeks in decline, the end of the maximum wage for
footballers). The greatest change, though, concerned urban
redevelopment: city centres were being yanked into the age of the
motor car, slum clearance was intensified, and the skyline became
studded with brutalist high-rise blocks. Some of this
transformation was necessary, but too much would destroy
communities and leave a harsh, fateful legacy. This profoundly
important story of the transformation of Britain as it arrived at
the brink of a new world is brilliantly told through diaries,
letters newspapers and a rich haul of other sources and published
in one magnificent paperback volume for the first time.
