Modernity Britain: A Shake of the Dice, 1959–1962
By 1959 consumerism was inexorably taking hold, relative economic decline was becoming the staple of political discourse, immigration was turning into an ever-hotter issue and traditional morality was under threat (Lady Chatterley’s Lover freely on sale after the famous case). Traditional working-class culture was changing even as Coronation Street established itself as a national institution, but the greatest shake of the dice concerned urban redevelopment: slum clearance was intensified, and the skyline became studded with brutalist high-rise boxes. This profoundly important story of transformation from the old to the brink of a new world is now told brilliantly and in full for the first time.
