How the Beatles and Their Fans Remade the World
BEATLENESS, by sociologist Candy Leonard, is the story of how the Beatles’ constant presence in the 1960s transformed the childhood and adolescence of millions of fans and how, with a little help from their fans, the Beatles remade the world.
- Based on interviews with hundreds of fans of different ages and genders, Beatleness is a richly textured cultural history, showing what it was like to grow up immersed in not only the Beatles—from Ed Sullivan to the Apple rooftop—but the cultural zeitgeist they created.
- Beatleness holds up a magnifying glass to the six-year timeline of the fan experience and allows the reader to experience—or re-experience—what it was like to be a young person during the transformative Beatle years.
