Summary note

The examples discussed here remind us that what drives the music of protest has changed little over the years. Opposition to the unrepresentative government, the illegitimate ruler, or the oppressive system as much as hostility to the totalitarian, the tyrant, the demagogue: these are the common threads of protest music.
