Phil Cohen studied working-class communities in the east end of London in the early 1970s. These communities were changing rapidly. People were being rehoused and moved away from the area where they lived; older industries and small businesses were closing so there were few jobs and new immigrants were arriving into the area. The old way of life was disappearing. leenage boys could no longer assume they would have jobs for lite in a stable community
They were angry and confused about their situation and they reacted by forming sub-cultures. One of these was
the skinhead sub-culture, which was based on being aggressive, detending the community against all outsiders and showing fierce loyalty to the group. Cohen argued that the appearance of skinheads was an exaggerated version of how men in those areas had always appeared - with hair cut very short and wearing heavy boots and baggy trousers with
braces. The heavy boots had been needed for work on the docks or on building sites but now the skinheads wore them
as a symbol of aggressive masculinity. The skinheads defended their area against ethnic minorities and outsiders and Cohen saw this also
as a version or order of
working-class values.

TASK
- Why would middle-class boys be less likely to form a sub-culture?
- Why did the skinhead sub-culture adopt the signs and symbols (appearance, dress and so on) that it did?
