Three of them were major and two of them were minor, but the 2011 riot was by far the largest in scale. The riot originally started in Tottenham and spread to a number of other boroughs in London over the next few days. Later on, unrest appeared in other major English cities as well. For these reasons, talking about the 2011 Brixton riot is somewhat misleading, even though it is a term which was used by various media outlets for a short period of time. At the moment, the two prevalent terms used with regard to the riots are the 2011 Tottenham riot and the 2011 England riots. -

How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City
Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 25, Issue 1, Pages 56–76 How Joy Division Came to Sound Like Manchester: Myth and Ways of Listening in the Neoliberal City Leonard Nevarez Vassar College Manchester, England, is among the most well-known cities today for the creation and celebration of popular music, thanks in no small part to the group Joy Division. Among the first bands to be associated with a postpunk aesthetic, Joy Division eschewed punk’syouthful rage and unrelenting din for an expansive, anthemic sound distinguished by its dynamic scope, machinic pulses, and by singer Ian Curtis’ssonorous baritone and existential lyrics. As the first significant band to sustain a career in Manchester, thus bypassing the music industry headquartered in London, Joy Division is also recognized as pioneering the DIY tradition that has famously characterized Manchester’s musical economy over the last four decades. The group didn’t achieve this alone; the role of Manchester label Factory Records is well documented, as, increasingly, is the foundation laid by the city’s networks of musicians, scene participants, and cultural institutions (see Crossley; Botta).´ Yet these local facts don’t quite explain the contemporary resonance of Joy Division’s Manchester roots for music fans and city boosters today. Perhaps more than any other Mancunian band, Joy Division are claimed to sound like Manchester, at least the Manchester of a certain era. That is, the group did not just originate from the late 1970s Manchester of deindustrialization, carceral housing estates, Thatcherism, and punk’s youthful refusal; nor do they simply illustrate a recurring Mancunian ethos of creative pluck and insouciant disregard for London’s cultural hegemony (Haslam, Manchester, England). -
A History of the University of Manchester Since 1951
Pullan2004jkt 10/2/03 2:43 PM Page 1 University ofManchester A history ofthe HIS IS THE SECOND VOLUME of a history of the University of Manchester since 1951. It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities. The book will appeal to past and present staff of the University and its alumni, and to anyone interested in the debates surrounding higher with MicheleAbendstern Brian Pullan education in the late twentieth century. A history of the University of Manchester 1951–73 by Brian Pullan with Michele Abendstern is also available from Manchester University Press. -
Domestic Violence' in London in the 1980S
An investigation of policing policy in relation to 'domestic violence' in London in the 1980s by JAMES SHEPTYCKI A thesis submitted to London University in candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy based on research conducted in the Sociology Department, London School of Economics, London, United Kingdom June 1991 UMI Number: U615767 All rights reserved INFORMATION TO ALL USERS The quality of this reproduction is dependent upon the quality of the copy submitted.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F yf£ II U^ This thesis is an examination of the social construction of the social response to a social problem. The social problem is refered to as 'domestic violence' and the social response refers to the police response. The first chapter of the thesis constructs a theoretical approach grounded in the sociology of knowledge. Drawing on some of the classical sociological literature, the ideas of historians and philosophers of science, political philosophy and current social theory the concept of Tinguistic-authority- structure' is synthesized. Subsequent chapters apply the theoretical framework that this concept implies to illuminate the unfolding history of the issue of domestic violence. -

Subject Guide
Subject Guide UPRISINGS Ref. PHOTOS/57 Ref. MCKENLEY/4/1 Ref. EPHEMERA/45 Background This guide covers the uprisings of the 1980s which were primarily caused by racism and hostility towards Black and ethnic minority communities. Although there has been a Black presence in Britain for many centuries, the large numbers of Black immigrants at the end of the Second World War caused an overwhelming reaction of hostility and hatred. This culminated in an environment of open aggression and opposition by the White population towards the rights of Black and ethnic minority communities to live in Britain and enjoy the benefits of citizenship. In addition to the racism faced by many on a daily basis, there were key sources of tension which sparked the riots of the 1980s based on policing attitudes and difficult employment and economic conditions. Policing Strict policing, or over-policing, of urban areas and the use of police powers such as stop and search, which was also known as the ‘Sus Law’ became a main point of contention. These powers were granted under the 1824 Vagrancy Act and gave the police power to stop and search citizens who were considered to be ‘loitering with intent’ without any evidence. Stop and search powers disproportionately targeted young African-Caribbean men, who felt that they were being harassed and victimised by the police. The police used the tactic of high-profile, visible policing in urban areas to try and stem the threat of street crime, such as mugging, which was stereotyped as being perpetrated by young Black men, most notably in Brixton under ‘Operation Swamp’. -
