{"product_id":"american-song-and-struggle-from-will-kaufman-9781316514337","title":"American Song and Struggle from Columbus to World War 2: A Cultural History","description":"Long before anyone ever heard of 'protest music', people in America were singing about their struggles. They sang for justice and fairness, food and shelter, and equality and freedom; they sang to be acknowledged. Sometimes they also sang to oppress. This book uncovers the history of these people and their songs, from the moment Columbus made fateful landfall to the start of the Second World War, when 'protest music' emerged as an identifiable brand. Cutting across musical genres, Will Kaufman recovers the passionate voices of America itself. We encounter songs of the mainland and the conquered territories of Hawai'i, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines; we hear Indigenous songs, immigrant songs and Klan songs, minstrel songs and symphonies, songs of the heard and the unheard, songs of the celebrated and the anonymous, of the righteous and the despicable. This magisterial book shows that all these songs are woven into the very fabric of American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Will Kaufman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1316514331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781316514337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.20w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2023","brand":"Will Kaufman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071109361919,"sku":"9781316514337","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_65e6f251-6cc7-4526-bfe6-d9ffe0339b9c.jpg?v=1685434204","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-song-and-struggle-from-will-kaufman-9781316514337","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
