My dads book.. Skinheads, Rastas and Hippies reflects John’s involvement in the alternative culture of the 1970s through to the 1990s. He saw a common denominator between the different ethnic and sub-culture groups i.e. Rastas mixing with hippies/skinheads etc. It was these experiences coupled with his own diagnosis of schizophrenia that lead John to put pen to paper. A truly entertaining read, the story reflects John’s upbringing and youth in the mixed and sometimes volatile Brixton in South London.
This book was written by your dad? Topic is very interesting for me cos I study (from my personal interest) social and music subcultures for a years. Anyway, how do you mean his diagnosis affect this stuff?
