[lower corners of book bumped, otherwise nice and clean with no significant wear; the jacket shows a bit of handling wear, and has a few short edge-tears, a short diagonal crease in the front flap and a long diagonal crease in the rear flap]. (B&W photographs) This book "traces the history of the culture of protest singing in America from the union hymns of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), through the topical-political singing of the Almanac Singes and the folk-protest singing of Pete Seeger, the Weavers, and Peter, Paul, and Mary to the folk-rock era of the 1960s. The author organizes hs book around key personalities -- John Lennon, Joe Hill, Woody Guthrie, and Bob Dylan -- who sum up eras or genres of protest. He considers these important musicians both biographically and as political heroes, examining in particular the drama of each one's public life."
