Emerging in London in 1988 and subsequently exported around the world, vast numbers of western youth have attached primary significance to raving and post-rave experiences. This collection of essays explores the socio-cultural and religious dimensions of the rave, "raving" and rave-derived phenomena. Scholars of contemporary religion, dance ethnologists, sociologists and other cultural observers unravel this core cultural practice among contemporary youth.
