Biographical note
Brian Wilson is associate professor, cultural studies and sociology, School of Human Kinetics, University of British Columbia."Wilson uses the rave scene to demonstrate the complexity of contemporary youth in contrast to the somewhat one-dimensional portraits of 'troubled' and 'troubling' youth painted by the mass media and many academics. Wilson's analysis is simply the most comprehensive and theoretically interesting academic work on rave culture." John Shepherd, Carleton University
