Sommario/riassunto

The book discusses the use of music in presidential campaigns and the factors that have caused changes to occur (1) within the music used by campaigns and(2) music developed independent of those campaigns. The work explores American political development with respect to presidential campaigns, music, and politics, thus making it a great supplement for political science and music courses alike.
