Laura Lohman

Recenzje

An insightful account of the cacophonous birth of American political life-its partisan propaganda, protests, and power plays-through the lyrical lens of the early nation's songwriters. Lohman offers a convincing tale that reveals how song's partisan counterpoint and national harmonies shaped the new nation's mythology and thus its form and future in ways that continue to resonate today.
