It's a London thing : How rare groove, acid house and jungle remapped the cityAuthor: Caspar Melville This book is a record of the Black music culture that emerged in post colonial London at the end of the twentieth century; the people who made it, the racial and spatial politics of its development and change, and the part it played in founding Londons precious, embattled multiculture. It tells the story of the linked Black musical scenes of the city, from ska, reggae and soul in the 1970s, to rare groove and rave in the 1980s
