Recenzii
Singin' Bout a Revolution makes vital contributions to the growing literature on children's activism by drawing much-needed attention to the aesthetic, affective, and creative dimensions of children's political practices. Hansen's deep respect for children as producers of knowledge is profound - he takes children's musical interventions seriously, subjecting their work to the detailed critical analysis it deserves, while illuminating how dominant ideas about childhood structure the conflicting public response to these youthful interventions. Exciting, deeply researched, and thoroughly pleasurable to read, this book shows how children's musical activism can spark our imaginations, produce new perspectives and feelings, and transform our understanding of childhood itself.
From the intersecting fields of popular music, childhood studies, and politics comes this critical analysis of children's musical activism: the ways that children and young people use music to express their sentiments on contemporary social and political issues. In Singin' Bout a Revolution, Kai Arne Hansen deftly explores and colorfully illustrates the capacity of young players, singers, and songwriters to voice their thoughtful views of pressing cultural circumstances both local and global, and to sound the alarm on wars, social injustices, and environmental crises that are impacting their daily lives. The work is engaging and insightful, erudite yet accessible, and an important read for all who seek to understand children and youth for their critical thought and creative musical practice.
