Download or read book The Resisting Muse written by Ian Peddie and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the various ways popular music has been deployed as anti-establishment and how such opposition both influences and responds to the music produced. The book's contemporary focus (largely post-1975) allows for comprehensive coverage of extremely diverse forms of popular music in relation to the creation of communities of protest. The Resisting Muse examines how the forms and aims of social protest music are contingent upon the audience's ability to invest the music with the 'appropriate' political meaning.
