From Margaret Thatcher to Bill Clinton, politics played a role in the popular culture of this era, while new technology led to video game arcades popping up anywhere teenagers might be lurking. Early game consoles found their way into many homes, as did the records, cassette tapes and compact discs of Madonna, Michael Jackson, Price and U2.
This series explains popular culture and examines it from the 1900s through to the age of social networking and reality TV. Each book looks at art, music, fashion, film and design, and also shows how advances in technology, as well as global and political events, can have a great impact on the popular culture of an era.
