Summary | It's a powerful feeling when a song celebrates our identity, champions our human rights, or captures our frustrations, hopes, and dreams. In this entertaining and vibrantly illustrated book, Andrea Warner explores how music has contributed to the fight for social justice. This book covers eight areas of activism: the climate emergency, Indigenous rights, civil rights, disability rights, 2SLGBTQIA+ rights, gender equality, the peace/anti-war movement, and human rights. |
