Protest Music of the Vietnam War: Description and Classification of Various Protest Songs.
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>The Vietnam War and subsequent protest movement remains one of the most tumultuous times in U.S. history. This thesis is an attempt to define and describe the protest movement as well as the varied popular protest songs that came from this era. Building on a previous study written by Elizabeth Kizer, this thesis creates sub-categories in which the protest music falls into.</p><p>The first two chapters of this study help by giving historical context to the songs by describing the Vietnam War and then the protest movement in the U.S. The final chapter then deals with popular protest songs that appeared on the <em>Billboard</em> charts between 1960 and 1969.</p>
