"The major objective of this collection of 28 essays is to analyze the trends, musical formats, and rhetorical devices used in popular music to illuminate the human condition. By comparing and contrasting musical offerings in a number of countries and in different contexts from the 19th century until today, the book is a probing introduction to the history of social protest music, ideal for popular music studies and history and sociology of music courses."--Publisher information.
