Radical Politics and British Pop Music 1976-87

For the first time in its history, British popular music became radically politicised in the mid 1970s as a result of the rise of far right racist groups in Britain. This radicalism lasted long into the 1980s, ending with the advent of New Labour. Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.
