“Nick Knight’s debut publication presents an unflinching vision of skinhead culture. A reaction to the Hippie lifestyle of the sixties and seventies, and strongly influenced by Mods and Jamaican rude boys, the skinhead movement itself was started in the mid-sixties by working-class youths in England.
