Editorial Reviews
Review
Rave Culture and Religion is a smart book collecting essays many by emerging scholars and graduate students who, in personally experiencing rave culture, find immediate and urgent applicability for the academic theories they are reading. To link rave and religion will hopefully prove shocking enough to the established academic study of religion to open new discussions about religion and popular culture. To link rave and sophisticated academic study will hopefully be shocking enough to a few ravers to lead them to see beyond a simple-minded fuzzy understanding of the power and importance of what they are experiencing. - Professor Sam Gill, University of Colorado at Boulder
Product Description
Emerging in London in 1988 and subsequently exported around the world, vast numbers of western youth have attached primary significance to raving and post-rave experiences. This collection of essays explores the socio-cultural and religious dimensions of the rave, 'raving' and rave-derived phenomena. Scholars of contemporary religion, dance ethnologists, sociologists and other cultural observers unravel this core cultural practice among contemporary youth.
