Music Is Power
Honorable Mention, 2019 Foreword INDIES Awards - Performing Arts MusicHonorable Mention, Graphis 2021 Design Annual CompetitionPopular music has long been a powerful force for social change. Protest songs have served as anthems regarding war, racism, sexism, ecological destruction and so many other crucial issues. Music Is Power takes us on a guided tour through the past 100 years of politically-conscious music, from Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie to Green Day and NWA. Covering a wide variety of genres, including reggae, country, metal, psychedelia, rap, punk, folk and soul, Brad Schreiber demonstrates how musicians can take a variety of approaches- angry rallying cries, mournful elegies to the victims of injustice, or even humorous mockeries of authority-to fight for a fairer world. While shining a spotlight on Phil Ochs, Gil Scott-Heron, The Dead Kennedys and other seminal, politicized artists, he also gives readers a new appreciation of classic acts such as Lesley Gore, James Brown, and Black Sabbath, who overcame limitations in their industry to create politically potent music Music Is Power tells fascinating stories about the origins and the impact of dozens of world-changing songs, while revealing political context and the personal challenges of legendary artists from Bob Dylan to Bob Marley.Supplemental material (Artist and Title List): https://d3tto5i5w9ogdd.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/24001955/Music_Is_Power_Supplementary_Artist_Title_List.doc

\The white man is still there. The white duppy\: Gothic Haunting and Colourism in Marlon James's A Brief History of Seven Killings
Rhone Fraser comes closest to an examination of colourism, arguing that the novel depicts a \"small, white elite\" that governed Jamaica; but his emphasis is neocolonial: the pressures brought to bear on Jamaica by the International Monetary Fund, American foreign policy, and the Cold War (67-68, 69). Caribbean colourism emanates from slavery and is based on white supremacist ideologies, which equated white with freedom, positivity, civilization, and beauty; blackness denoted servitude, negativity, uncivilized, and ugliness. Because of their proximity to whiteness, mixed-race people with lighter skin were seen as more intelligent than their dark-skinned counterparts. [...]a pigmentocratic social stratification arose, headed by white people, then light-skinned people, ple, with black people at the bottom. The Singer's dark-skinned middle-class \"haters\" are deemed less effective when speaking on race: \"Bossman .. . get himself a big fucking degree only to have that little half-white shortass become the voice of black liberation\" (87).
