Popular music has long understood that human rights, if attainable
at all, involve a struggle without end. The right to imagine an
individual will, the right to some form of self-determination and
the right to self-legislation have long been at the forefront of
popular music's approach to human rights. At a time of such
uncertainty and confusion, with human rights currently being
violated all over the world, a new and sustained examination of
cultural responses to such issues is warranted. In this respect
music, which is always produced in a social context, is an
extremely useful medium; in its immediacy music has a potency of
expression whose reach is long and wide. Contributors to this
significant volume cover artists and topics such as Billy Bragg,
punk, Fun-da-Mental, Willie King and the Liberators, Hedwig and the
Angry Inch, the Anti-Death Penalty movement, benefit concerts,
benefit albums, Gil Scott-Heron, Bruce Springsteen, Wounded Knee
and Native American political resistance, Tori Amos, Joni Mitchell,
as well as human rights in relation to feminism. A second volume
covers World Music.
