Compare Music and Social Movements by Ron Eyerman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

Music and song are central to modern culture-social movements to cultural change. Building on their studies of the sixties culture and the theory of cognitive praxis, the authors examine the mobilization of cultural traditions and the formation of new collective identities through the music of activism. Specific chapters examine American folk and country music, black music, music of the sixties, and the transfer of the American experience to Europe. This highly readable book is among the first to link social movement and cultural theory. | Music and Social Movements by Ron Eyerman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
