    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.
