Music and Social Movements

Abstract

Abstract Recent scholarship has increasingly addressed the ways that social movements creatively use cultural products and themselves act as sources of cultural creativity. Because of its temporal synchronicity and its expression in lyrics, music has been an especially powerful form of cultural expression. It is music's dual nature as a set of cultural objects and an activity fostering solidarity that explains its effectiveness for social movements. Music not only serves as an important resource for social movements, but is also something they actively “do.”
