We will explore connections between music and political issues and movements for social change, and we will think critically about the varying effectiveness of political music. This is a new class with the focus on individual artists (and groups) who have created a significant body of work related to social justice and political protest, including Woody Guthrie, Paul Robeson, Pete Seeger, Nina Simone. Fela Kuti, Linton Kwesi Johnson, The Clash, Leon Rosselson, and Alphabet Rockers. The class will include a Powerpoint, and in addition to recorded examples, David will also play his guitar and sing some of the songs for the class. We will provide video links to students who can’t attend at the scheduled time.
