“Book Descriptions: A cultural and political history of Britain in the 1980s. Rejoice, Rejoice! touches on many areas, from the rise of alternative comedy to various expected noises about the TV and music scenes of the day. In essence, it's about how Margaret Thatcher's Conservatives managed to stay in power for the entire decade despite, being not only unpopular but actively ineffectual in asserting her supposedly iron will. Secondarly, it's about how the bickering, divided Labour Party proved so spectacularly ineffectual in stopping her. Turner synthesises the culture and art of the day into the wider political discourse.”
