- Abstract
Andrea F Bohlman's book, "Musical Solidarities: Political Action and Music in Late Twentieth-Century Poland," offers a unique and immersive exploration of the role of music in the Solidarity movement in Poland. Bohlman combines ethnography, historical musicology, analysis, and archival work to provide a multi-angled approach to understanding the relationship between music and politics in late twentieth-century Poland. The book examines the sonic surroundings of the Solidarity movement, including the use of tape culture, the impact of martial law on music, and the role of protest songs and hymns. Bohlman's work challenges conventional interpretations of Polish history and offers a compelling and original perspective on the subject.
