Feldman (communication and cultural studies, U. of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) narrates a compelling history of the mod subculture, from its origins in the UK youth scene of the 1960s to its influence on fashion, music, and gender aesthetics in worldwide settings, including modern day urban Japan. Material was gleaned through historical sources as well as interviews with contemporary scholars, veterans, and current devotees to the mod lifestyle.
