Beskrivning
Markus Jaeger explores the coalescence of Joan Baez's work as a singer and songwriter with her endeavors as a political activist throughout the last sixty years. He illustrates an American popular singer's significance as a political activist—for her audiences and for her opponents as well as for those victims of politically organized violence who have profited from her work. Mingling popular culture with political activism can be a helpful means to achieve non-violent societal progress: Joan Baez’s work offers an excellent example for this hypothesis. Revised and updated edition, with an additional chapter on Joan Baez’s artistic and political endeavours in the 2010s.

"Yes, it is about Joan Baez but it is also very much an academic book that seeks to prove that the singer’s artistic endeavours are matched by genuine political and social influence. Whilst, like me, you might be reasonably conversant with her early years, what this book demonstrates is that Baez has been politically active throughout her life, all over the world, right up to the debacle of the Trump ‘government’. […] if you want to know what people thought of Baez’s presence and her wider impact channeled through her art – then there’s a lot to read here."—Gordon Sharpe, Americana UK, 09.02.2021
