When Jimi Hendrix died; the idea of a black man playing lead guitar in a rock band seemed exotic. Yet ten years earlier; Chuck Berry had stood among the most influential rock and roll performers. Why did rock and roll become white? Jack Hamilton challenges the racial categories that distort standard histories of rock music and the 60s revolution.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Whats So Great About This Book. Anyway?By Erin MilneThis book offers a fun. entertaining. and well-researched perspective to readers interested in educational theory and practice. The graphic novel format offers a fully immersive experience for the reader. regardless of their own experiences with art or arts education. Branham offers a thoughtful and insightful critique of the state of education today. and how art (and the arts) can offer a venue toward providing an education that addresses issues of agency. engagement. social justice. and 21st century employment and skills. without ever coming across as being condescending or preachy. I highly recommend this book to educators. parents. artists. and activists of all stripes.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
