Description
How the radical music of the 1960s was birthed amid unprecedented upheaval and systemic repression.
Seventy years since the radical music of the 1960s first hit the airwaves, the anthems of the era continue to resonate with our current times.
Through studying these musicians and the political contexts in which their pioneering songs were birthed; amidst paranoia, psychedelic delusions, desire and civil unrest; Aaron Leonard’s Whole World in an Uproar is an important new critical history of countercultural music from the Summer of Love to the unwelcome arrival of Bob Dylan.

Advance Praise
"Even Spiro Agnew acknowledged that mid-century artists weren't conspiring to subvert unsuspecting Americans, but that didn't prevent powerful institutions from drawing a bead on them and their work. What happened when HUAC, the FBI, Jim Crow, corporate media outlets, drug warriors, the religious right, and even the Old Left tried to stop a freight train? Drawing on a broad range of sources, including FBI files, Whole World in an Uproar recounts that momentous story."
Peter Richardson, author of No Simple Highway: A Cultural History of the Grateful Dead
