Back in print after two decades, Junglist tells the compelling, comic,
stream-of-consciousness story of four young Black men coming of age
among the raves and Jungle music scene in London during the 1990s.
Layered with poetic verse, prose and humour, this cult classic of
underground British fiction documents the rollercoaster ride of a
weekend spent raving during Jungle's cultural takeover in the summer of
1994. Jungle, with its booming basslines and Jamaican patois, burst from
the pirate radio stations and mixtapes into cavernous clubs, pulling a
generation of Black British ravers with it.
Originally
written as a way to document street culture as it became a feature of
London, charting a time when working-class kids, both Black and white,
merged to dance as "one family", Junglist is both a testament to Black
British sound system culture and a rawthentic account of inner-city
life.
