Regulating the Night

Race, Culture and Exclusion in the Making of the Night-Time Economy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Although fears about disorder, violence and binge-drinking have been well-publicized, less attention has been paid to the social and cultural benefits of a diverse urban nightlife. This timely work examines the processes that have led to a mainstreaming of subcultural expression at night, and the impact of legislation aimed at providing new powers to manage and contain the 'social problem' of contemporary nightlife.
