Learning to Labour: How Working Class Kids Get Working Class Jobs is a 1977 book …

Review of 'Learning to labor' on 'Goodreads'

Difficult read but none the less interesting. I wouldn't recommend it if you are not privy to academic jargon.

reviewed Club cultures by Sarah Thornton (Music/culture)

Sarah Thornton: Club cultures (1996, University Press of New England)

Review of 'Club cultures' on 'Goodreads'

While I don't completely agree with her critique of the Birmingham School, I still really enjoyed this book and really liked her tracing of club music history. Her framing of the record object as a site of culture is very cool.
