Rock and roll music evolved in the United States during the late
1940s and 1950s, as a combination of African American blues,
country, pop, and gospel music produced a new musical genre. Even
as it captured the ears of the nation, rock and roll was the
subject of controversy and contention. The music intertwined with
the social, political, and economic changes reshaping America and
contributed to the rise of the youth culture that remains a potent
cultural force today. A comprehensive understanding of post-World
War II U.S. history would be incomplete without a basic knowledge
of this cultural phenomenon and its widespread impact. In this
short book, bolstered by primary source documents, Mitchell K. Hall
explores the change in musical style represented by rock and roll,
changes in technology and business practices, regional and racial
implications of this new music, and the global influences of the
music. The Emergence of Rock and Roll explains the huge influence
that one cultural moment can have in the history of a nation.
