Rebel Musics Human Rights, Resistant Sounds, and the Politics of Music Making

From Thomas Maptumo to Bob Marley, William Parker to Frank Zappa, Edgard Varese to Ice-T; from American blues to West African drumming, hip hop to son, gospel singing to rock'n'roll cabaret: rebel musics are at the heart of some of the most incisive critiques of global politics. The explosive lyrics and driving rhythms of a new wave of rebel musicians are mobilizing movements for political change and social justice all over the world. Original in concept and content, Rebel Musics examines how musical activism resonates in practical, political terms, how musical resistance brings together voices that might otherwise remain silent, and how political action through music increases the potential for people to determine their own fate.
