[ePub] The Best Burlesque Sketches: As Adapted for Sugar Babies and Other Entertainments by Ralph Allen in Arts-Photography

Description

Building on their studies of sixties culture and theory of cognitive praxis; Ron Eyerman and Andrew Jamison examine the mobilization of cultural traditions and formulation of new collective identities through the music of activism. They combine a sophisticated theoretical argument with historical-empirical studies of nineteenth-century populists and twentieth-century labour and ethnic movements; focusing on the interrelations between music and social movements in the United States and the transfer of those experiences to Europe. Specific chapters examine folk and country music; black music; music of the 1960s movements; and music of the Swedish progressive movement. This highly readable book is among the first to link the political sociology of social movements to cultural theory.
