Through decades of music spanning folk, rock, jazz, country, hip-hop, Indigenous traditions, immigrant songs and more, Kaufman explores how Americans have used song to respond to the defining challenges of their times, from war and civil rights to labor, environmental justice and democracy itself.

Drawing on the same thoughtful scholarship that made his first volume an award-winning work of music history, Kaufman demonstrates how songs have long served as a record of struggle, resilience and hope.
