Teddy Boys : Post-War Britain and the First Youth Revolution
Teddy Boys - Book - by Max Decharne
(2024)
With
their draped suits, suede creepers and immaculately greased hair, the
Teddy Boys defined a new era for a generation of teenagers raised on a
diet of drab clothes, Blitz playgrounds and tinned dinners. From the
Edwardian origins of their fashion to the tabloid fears of delinquency,
drunkenness and disorder, the story of the Teds throws a fascinating
light on a British society that was still reeling from the Second World
War. In the 1950s, working-class teenagers found a way of asserting
themselves in how they dressed, spoke and socialised on the street.
When
people saw Teds, they stepped aside. Musician and author Max Décharné
traces the rise of the Teds and the shockwave they sent through
post-war Britain, from the rise of rock 'n' roll to the Notting Hill
race riots. Full of fascinating insight, deftly sketching the milieu of
Elvis Presley and Derek Bentley, Billy Fury and Oswald Mosley, Teddy
Boys is the story of Britain's first youth counterculture.
