About this title

Synopsis:

DJ, Dance and Rave Culture examines the underground dance gatherings, or raves, that initially emerged as a fringe form of youth culture in the 1980s and 1990s. Particular attention is paid to the history of electronic music, the controversy over club drugs, the role of the DJ in popular culture, and the experience of the dancers that continue to keep the beat alive.

Review:

"As in many other Greenhaven series, such as Opposing Viewpoints, these volumes in the new Examining Pop Culture series includes excerpts from a range of periodicals and primary sources. Both titles, with their sophisticated language and bibliographies of mostly scholarly resources, are best suited for older, academically advanced teens. A fine new series to spark well-informed discussions about lifestyle and current issues."
-- Booklist (October 2001) (Booklist 20011015)

"The entries are well-balanced and present a variety of viewpoints."
-- School Library Journal (School Library Journal )

"Fascinating, informative reading as well as a solid research support; a generous, annotated selection of additional resources is appended."
-- Booklist (April 2002) (Booklist 20020401)
