33 Revolutions Per Minute tracks the turbulent relationship between
popular music and politics, through 33 pivotal songs that span
seven decades and four continents, from Billie Holiday singing
'Strange Fruit' to Green Day raging against the Iraq war. Dorian
Lynskey explores the individuals, ideas and events behind each
song, showing how protest music has soundtracked and informed
social change since the 1930s. Through the work of such artists as
Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Fela Kuti, The Clash,
Public Enemy and Gil Scott Heron, Lynskey examines how music has
engaged with racial unrest, nuclear paranoia, apartheid, war,
poverty and oppression, offering hope, stirring anger, inciting
action and producing songs which continue to resonate years down
the line.
