Omschrijving
Makes available twenty-two protest songs of the period up to and including the 1848 Revolution in Germany along with a reception history of the songs through their revival after 1945.
An absorbing, even essential study for any scholar interested in historical or political song, irrespective of time and place. . . . The book is a delight. The . . . cumulative effect [of the case studies] is hugely rewarding: each new song enriches a complex, unfolding narrative of the intoxicating interplay of song and revolution. . . . Each case study is . . . a jewel in the hoard. The translations are impeccable . . . . A really rather brilliant contribution to the study of historical song.
Most timely . . . in [the present] moment of great political turmoil . . . . Makes an important contribution to the existing body of German and Europeanist folk-music scholarship . . . . This remarkable volume bears a particular relevance for scholars and music practitioners, while speaking to all those more broadly interested in the polyphonic trajectories of modern European cultural history.
[A] major achievement of [the book is that it] document[s] the legacy of 1848 in models of dissent both in the GDR and the "New Social movements" of the West since the 1960s. . . . [It] could be used as a songbook in its own right, but its scholarly importance lies in demonstrating in exemplary detail the role of cultural memory in the formation of social consciousness and in the continuing struggles for political legitimacy, emancipation and institutional change.
