Description
A global history of music that reveals how songs have shaped societies and sparked revolutions. Music: A Subversive History challenges the conventional narrative of music history, instead highlighting the stories of the outsiders and rebels who created musical revolutions.
From ancient times to the jazz, reggae, and hip-hop sounds of the current day, Ted Gioia explores how outcasts, immigrants, slaves, and others at the margins of society have served as trailblazers of musical expression. This four-thousand-year history of music shows how these individuals have reinvented our most cherished songs, revealing the power of music to drive change and upheaval.
