Skinhead Nation

by George Marshall

As a lot of people reading this will already know, the first book published by S.T. Publishing was Spirit Of €˜69 - A Skinhead Bible back in 1991. Originally, a mainstream publisher in London was going to release it, but after a few months of pissing me about, I decided to do it myself. I wrote Spirit Of €˜69 - A Skinhead Bible not because I think I€™m some sort of expert on skinheads, but because I passionately believed that the history of the cult, warts and all, had to be written from the inside. The idea behind Spirit Of €˜69 was to offer a view of the cult from within, and one so detailed that it would stand proud amidst the reams and reams of complete nonsense that have been written about skinheads over the years.

Do not own this repress, This version is a very flimsy made bad copy of the original book and suffers from a terrible blurry and grainy version of the front cover and all the photos are missing. Some parts are rewritten also. The original commands a lot of money due to its collectibility in skinhead circles, but if you can find a copy, own that.

Skinhead Nation - George Marshall

Buku ini nunjukin kalau dunia skinhead gak sesempit yang orang kira. Ada yang rasis, ada yang anti-rasis, dan ada juga yang cuma pengen nongkrong, denger musik, dan tampil keren. Marshall ngulik gimana musik, fashion, dan sepakbola jadi jantung kultur ini. Dari ska dan reggae, ke punk yang keras kepala, dari jaket harrington sampai scarf stadion, semuanya bentuk ekspresi diri anak kelas pekerja yang lagi nyari arti “jadi diri sendiri. Oi 3x sehari!

Five stars for an EXCELLENT, TRUTHFUL primer on Skinhead-ism. (Is that a word? It is now.) There's a mention of Ben Mancel, from PIST & BROKE in here! That made my day and was worth the price of this book! Skinhead's are NOT racist! "Hooligans and Rude Boys know one thing for sure..." is what RANCID says in that one song, so get into it!
