Wobbly wordsmiths such as the fabled Joe Hill, T-Bone Slim, Haywire Mac, and Richard Brazier set their fighting words to popular tunes of the day, gospel hymns, old ballads and patriotic anthems.” —San Francisco Chronicle Silenced by Sound: The Music Meritocracy Myth “Shocking! I didn’t think it was possible to write a shocking book about music anymore. This is the most radical music book I’ve read in years.” —John Waters The Explosion of Deferred Dreams: Musical Renaissance and Social Revolution in San Francisco, 1965-1975 “Mat Callahan was a red diaper baby lucky to be attending a San Francisco high school during the ‘Summer of Love.’ He takes a studied approach, but with the eye of a revolutionary, describing the sociopolitical landscape that led to the explosion of popular music (rock, jazz, folk, R&B) coupled with the birth of several diverse radical movements during the golden 1965–1975 age of the Bay Area. Callahan comes at it from every angle imaginable (black power, anti–Vietnam War, the media, the New Left, feminism, sexual revolution—with the voice of authority backed up by interviews with those who lived it.” —Pat Thomas, author of Listen, Whitey! The Sights and Sounds of Black Power 1965–1975 Queercore: How to Punk a Revolution: An Oral History “Finally, a book that centers on the wild, innovative, and fearless contributions queers made to punk rock, creating a punker-than-punk subculture beneath the subculture, Queercore. Gossipy and inspiring, a historical document and a call to arms during a time when the entire planet could use a dose of queer, creative rage.” —Michelle Tea, author of Valencia Working-Class Heroes: A History of Struggle in Song: A Songbook Featured in this twenty-song collection are Sarah Ogan Gunning, Ralph Chaplin, Woody Guthrie, Ella May Wiggins, Joe Hill, Paul Robeson, John Handcox, Aunt Molly Jackson, Jim Garland, Alfred Hayes, Joseph Brandon, and several anonymous proletarian songwriters whose names have been long forgotten, though their words will never die. Punk Rock: An Oral History “John Robb is a great writer...and he is supremely qualified in my opinion to talk about punk rock.” —Mick Jones, The Clash Socialist and Labor Songs: An International Revolutionary Songbook Seventy-seven songs—with words and sheet music—of solidarity, revolt, humor, and revolution. Compiled from several generations in America, and from around the world, they were originally written in English, Danish, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, and Yiddish. If It Sounds Good, It Is Good: Seeking Subversion, Transcendence, and Solace in America's Music “Richard Manning is the most significant social critic in the northern Rockies. We’re fortunate to have Dick Manning as he continues his demands for fairness while casting light on our future.” —William Kittredge, author of The Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology and The Next Rodeo: New and Selected Essays Facebooking the Anthropocene in Raja Ampat: Technics and Civilization in the 21st Century “With deep intelligence and an acute and off-center sensibility, Robert Ostertag gives us a riveting and highly personalized view of globalization, from the soaring skyscapes of Shanghai to the darkened alleys of Yogyakarta.” —Frances Fox Piven, coauthor of Regulating the Poorand Poor People’s Movements View as Webpage PM Press | PO Box 23912, Oakland, CA 94623 Unsubscribe [email protected] Update Profile | About Constant Contact Sent by [email protected] in collaboration with Try email marketing for free today!
