Civil Rights Music: The Soundtracks of the Civil Rights Movement

by Reiland Rabaka

Book Overview

This book critically examines the music and politics that emerged from the Civil Rights Movement as incredibly important sites and sources of spiritual rejuvenation, social organization, political education, and cultural transformation. The book is primarily preoccupied with that liminal, in-between, and often inexplicable place where black popular music and black popular movements meet and merge.
