'The evolution of American protest music'

Welcome! As mentioned here and in the syllabus, this blog will be run as an off-site place to continue and expand our discussions of protest songs, propaganda music, and the social movements with which each interacts and acts through.

Looking forward to meeting all of you next Friday — in the meantime, the following short video from Vox is a good scene-setter for our explorations along a similar scope of history and genres.

Bring to class any thoughts or questions spurred by this, especially in relation to the assigned readings!
