It has long been noted that social movements typically
create movement cultures, but the actual use of music, as
one cultural form, is only beginning to receive attention.
Is it used for cheerleading purposes, for proselytizing,
for internal critique within the movement itself? When,
where and why does each of these functions develop? We will
look at a number of theoretical and activist approaches and
then apply these to movements in the United States
(including the labor, civil rights, New Left, women's, and
current inner city/rap movements) and elsewhere.
