Overview

The tradition of protest songs in the United States is a long one that dates back to the 18th century and colonial period, the American Revolutionary War, and its aftermath. In the 19th century, topical subjects for protest in song included abolition, slavery, poverty, and the Civil War among other subjects. In the 20th century civil liberties, civil rights, women's rights, economic injustice, politics, and war were among the popular subjects for protest in song. There have been songs of protest as long as there's been singing, written down as long as there's been writing. It's not just Bob Dylan in the 1960s and Billy Bragg now. It's The Jane and Mike Band, looking back at Protesting Songs and looking forward, as well as telling you all they know about stuff they've written themselves. (This book includes song lyrics and website links to other places you can find out more about Protesting Songs.)
