- Title
Rocking in the Free World: Popular Music and the Politics of Freedom in Postwar America.
- Authors
WRIGHT, BRIAN F.
- Abstract
The article titled "Rocking in the Free World: Popular Music and the Politics of Freedom in Postwar America" discusses the association between rock music and personal freedom. The author, Nicholas Tochka, explores the political discourse surrounding rock music and its connection to liberal democratic values. Tochka examines seven key moments in rock history, tracing its evolution and impact on society. While the book provides in-depth archival research and sheds light on the political strategies behind rock music, it may be challenging for readers unfamiliar with rock history. Additionally, the author's limited engagement with prior scholarship in popular music studies restricts the book's usefulness for academic audiences.
