Description
Music and Politics by John Street explores the complex relationship between music and politics. This book examines how organised sound has been used to inspire crowds, mobilise movements, and even shape public policy. From ancient philosophers like Aristotle and Rousseau to modern thinkers like Adorno and Deleuze, Street draws on a wide range of ideas about music's political significance. He also presents new empirical data to shed light on the potency of music across time and space. At its heart, Music and Politics argues that music and politics are inextricably linked, each animating the other in profound ways.
