Overview

The Seventies is must reading for anyone who wants to revisit that glam decade and the contributions it made to our culture. The contributors take you on a fascinating journey that looks at the Black Panthers, Jonestown, glam rock, black action films and gay male subcultures as well as including queer rereadings of cultural phenomena, examinations of clothing and seventies bodies, and an essay on the meaning of sound in the seventies.

Synopsis

The first book of its kind devoted exclusively to the Seventies, it includes a previously unpublished interview with KC of the Sunshine Band as well as discussions of film, music, fashion, race and sexuality.
