From the gospel music of slavery in the antebellum South to
anti-apartheid freedom songs in South Africa, this two-volume work
documents how music has fueled resistance and revolutionary
movements in the United States and worldwide. Political resistance
movements and the creation of music-two seemingly unrelated
phenomenon-often result from the seed of powerful emotions,
opinions, or experiences. This two-volume set presents essays that
explore the connections between diverse musical forms and political
activism across the globe, revealing fascinating similarities
regarding the interrelationship between music and political
resistance in widely different geographic or cultural
circumstances. The breadth of specific examples covered in Sounds
of Resistance: The Role of Music in Multicultural Activism
highlights strong similarities between diverse situations-for
example, protest against the Communist government in Poland and
drug discourse in hip hop music in the United States-and
demonstrates how music has repeatedly played a vital role in
energizing or expanding various political movements. By exploring
activism and how music relates to specific movements through an
interdisciplinary lens, the authors document how music often
enables powerless members of oppressed groups to communicate or
voice their concerns.
