Over 30 long essays examine student political activism in the West, the East, and Third World. For each country, the history of activism, its relation to the educational and political structures, and the current situation are discussed by scholars from the country or by specialists from US universities or government agencies. Three chapters cover the US from 1905 to the present. The introduction explores the nature, significance, and limitations of student movements, and profiles the typical activist. Outlines an interdisciplinary approach to studying Anglo-American popular music of the past 200 years, with particular emphasis on the 20th century. Presents a critical review of the past and present approaches, such as political economy, history, ethnography, musicology, anthropology, and semiotics. Annotation c.
