Music was integral to the profound cultural, social and political
changes that swept the globe in 1968. This collection of essays
offers new perspectives on the role that music played in the events
of that year, which included protests against the ongoing Vietnam
War, the May riots in France and the assassination of Martin Luther
King, Jr. From underground folk music in Japan to antiauthoritarian
music in Scandinavia and Germany, Music and Protest in 1968
explores music's key role as a means of socio-political dissent not
just in the US and the UK but in Asia, North and South America,
Europe and Africa. Contributors extend the understanding of musical
protest far beyond a narrow view of the 'protest song' to explore
how politics and social protest played out in many genres,
including experimental and avant-garde music, free jazz, rock,
popular song, and film and theatre music.
