This is a deliberately provocative book crossing many disciplinary
boundaries and locating music and art education within a context of
contemporary social and political problems in a time of growing
disruption and authoritarianism. Intended firstly for music teacher
educators, practicing music teachers, and graduate and
undergraduate music education majors, the book also speaks to arts
and media studies teachers, parents, or others interested in
exploring how composing, performing, improvising, conducting,
listening, dancing, teaching, learning, or engaging in music or
education criticism are all political acts because fundamentally
concerned with social values and thus inseparable from power and
politics. Among the book's central themes are the danger of
democratic deconsolidation in the West and how music education can
help counter that threat through the fostering of democratic
citizens who are aware of music's ubiquity in their lives and its
many roles in shaping public opinion and notions of truth, and for
better or for worse! The arts can obviously be used for ill, but as
George Orwell demonstrated in his own work, they can also be
employed in defense of democracy as modes of political thought and
action affording opportunities for the revitalization of society
through its re-imagining.
