Sinopsis

"Rock and Rebellion" explores the dynamic interplay between rock and roll music and the major social and political shifts of the 20th century. It examines how rock became both a mirror reflecting societal changes and a catalyst igniting movements for civil rights, anti-war sentiments, and various forms of activism. The book highlights rock's powerful role in challenging authority and amplifying marginalized voices, demonstrating its impact extended far beyond mere entertainment, significantly shaping political discourse.

The book progresses chronologically, first establishing rock's emergence from blues, gospel, and country music, followed by sections that delve into specific eras and movements. "Rock and Rebellion" analyzes the relationship between music and social change by drawing upon archival materials, firsthand accounts, and scholarly studies to illustrate rock’s influence on ideologies and mobilization.

The book uniquely incorporates a global lens, showcasing examples from around the world to emphasize the universality of rock's rebellious spirit and its lasting cultural impact. Ultimately, the book argues that understanding rock music provides crucial insights into the cultural landscape of the modern world and the enduring power of music as a tool for social change. A key theme explored is how censorship affected the genre and how musical protest evolved over time. By bridging musicology, history, and sociology, the book offers a compelling perspective on the intersection of culture and politics.

Roses for Hedone - On Queer...

Prishita Maheshwari-Aplin

What more can pleasure offer us, and how can we transform this pleasure into intentional practice in pursuit of a collective liberatory future?
When a society marginalises a people, their humanity is revolutionary in all its hunger and joy. As the queer community worldwide faces rampant transphobia, rising hate crime, and unequal access to support services – all in the context of humanitarian crises, a climate crisis, and a destabilised political landscape – hedonism can play a central role in how we seek to organise as a symbiotic system. When viewed through a queer lens, hedonism undergoes a process of transformation, embodying the power for change and much more.
Borrowing from the Ancient Greeks' understanding of love's multiplicity, Roses for Hedone explores queer hedonism not as a momentary phenomenon or indulgence, but rather a transformational route – whether via euphoric raves, inspired art, marching side by side in protest, or sharing simple delights – through which we can learn from our past, connect in the present, and look towards a more fair, hopeful future together.

Don’t Call It Hair Metal - Art...

Seana Kelly

A love letter to the hard-rocking, but often snubbed, music of the era of excess: the 1980s
		 
There may be no more joyous iteration in all of music than 1980s hard rock. It was an era where the musical and cultural ideals of rebellion and freedom of the great rock ’n’ roll of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s were taken to dizzying heights of neon excess. Attention to songcraft, showmanship, and musical virtuosity (especially in the realm of the electric guitar) were at an all-time high, and radio and MTV were delivering the goods en masse to the corn-fed children of America and beyond.
		 
Time hasn’t always been kind to artists of that gold and platinum era, but Don’t Call It Hair Metal analyzes the sonic evolution, musical diversity, and artistic intention of ’80s commercial hard rock through interviews with members of such hard rock luminaries as Twisted Sister, Def Leppard, Poison, Whitesnake, Ratt, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Guns N’ Roses, Dokken, Mr. Big, and others.
