(Book). Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution is a comprehensive guide to the
relationship between American music and politics. Music expert Dick
Weissman opens with the dawn of American history, then moves to the
book's key focus: 20th-century music songs by and about Native
Americans, African-Americans, women, Spanish-speaking groups, and
more. Unprecedented in its approach, the book offers a
multidisciplinary discussion that is broad and diverse, and
illuminates how social events impact music as well as how music
impacts social events. Weissman delves deep, covering everything
from current Native American music to "music of hate" racist and
neo-Nazi music to the music of the Gulf wars, union songs,
patriotic and antiwar songs, and beyond. A powerful tool for
professors teaching classes about politics and music and a
stimulating, accessible read for all kinds of appreciators, from
casual music fans to social science lovers and devout music history
buffs.
