Synopsis

Popular music has long understood that human rights, if attainable at all, involve a struggle without end. The right to imagine an individual will, the right to some form of self-determination and the right to self-legislation have long been at the forefront of popular music's approach to human rights. At a time of such uncertainty and confusion, with human rights currently being violated all over the world, a new and sustained examination of cultural responses to such issues is warranted. In this respect music, which is always produced in a social context, is an extremely useful medium; in its immediacy music has a potency of expression whose reach is long and wide.

À propos de l?auteur

Ian Peddie has taught at Florida Gulf Coast University, the University of Sydney, and West Texas A&M University. His edited collection, The Resisting Muse: Popular Music and Social Protest (Ashgate), a finalist in the Association for Recorded Sound Collections book of the year, was published in 2006. He is an avowed humanist, and one of the harmonizing themes in his work is the way in which human interaction is governed by a cohesive inequality, and these sentiments inform his book The Hunted Revolutionaries: Narrating Class in Twentieth Century American Literature (VDM Verlag, 2009).

He has published numerous essays on authors such as Irvine Welsh, Langston Hughes, T.S. Eliot, and Thomas McGrath, as well as on topics such as class, poverty, and radicalism. These topics influence his approach to popular music, where he has written on Led Zeppelin, Goldie, and Billy Bragg.
