The Americas contain numerous examples of the strong connection between music and politics; Woody Guthrie's \"This Land is Your Land\" envisioned a socialist transformation of the U.S., the Chilean Nueva Canción created a narrative and affective frame for the recognition of popular culture as a central element of the cultural politics of the Chilean way to socialism, and Reggae emerged as a response to British colonialism, drawing inspiration and guidance from the pan-Africanist visions of Marcus Garvey. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProviding a significant contribution to the study of music and politics\/social movements from an inter-American perspective, this book will appeal to students and scholars of U.S. and Latin American Cultural Studies, Transnational Studies, History and Political Studies, Area Studies, and Music Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor additional information, please see the authors' Sonic Politics webpage: https: \/\/www.uni-bielefeld.de\/cias\/sonicpolitics\/index.html\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Olaf Kaltmeier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138389390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138389397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Olaf Kaltmeier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48113276911871,"sku":"9781138389397","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c68bc712-3f66-4a4b-af77-2b5e81670b6b.jpg?v=1769614037","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sonic-politics-olaf-kaltmeier-9781138389397","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
