Understand the social and historical significance of rock -and-roll
Brief, authoritative, and up-to-date, David Szatmary's Rockin' in Time: A Social History of Rock- and- Roll, 9th Edition, weaves the major icons of rock- and- roll into a larger sociohistorical fabric. Placing rock-and-roll in the context of the social issues that surrounded and shaped it, this book explores topics like the influence of rock music on the Civil Rights Movement, demographic change and the baby boom, the development of the music business, and technological advances. The 9th Edition contains new photos and images, as well as new material on Delta blues, fusion jazz, and electronic dance music.
*Music for your course is available through Spotify.
