An unparalleled moral panic gripped the people of Britain during the spring of 1964 as two bitterly opposed domestic factions, the like of which had not been seen before, clashed in the nation' s seafront towns. The Mods and the Rockers had grown in numbers throughout the decade' s early years and by Easter ' 64 their ranks and more importantly their differences had become so great that they could no longer be ignored. The overt hostility these two groups displayed toward each other rose until conflict was inevitable. The ominous signs of this impending explosion were spectacularly missed by the authorities until it was way too late. In Mods & Rockers, author Gareth Brown explains the genesis of both movements right through from their conception to the cell splitting that separated them. It closely studies their development, and most importantly, highlights their enduring impact on the popular culture of today.
Gareth Brown has a BA in Social History, specialising in post-Second World War 20th Century Youth Culture. He has had more than 1000 articles published in the field of youth culture in the national press and presented a segue on scooter culture on BBC TV' s Top Gear (1986). Having been an A-Level history and psychology lecturer, and a guest speaker at many events, he has featured on BBC Radio 4 as a youth culture/scootering expert a dozen times, and lectured on the subject to undergraduates on a number of occasions.
