As Glenn Altschuler reveals in 'All Shook Up', the rise of rock 'n roll - and the outraged reception to it - in fact can tell us a lot about the values of the United States in the 1950s, a decade that saw a great struggle for the control of popular culture. Altschuler shows, in particular, how rock's "switchblade beat" opened up wide fissures in American society along the fault-lines of family, sexuality, and race.Pivotal moments in American history.Rock musicSocial aspectsUnited StatesRock musicUnited StatesHistory and criticismRock musicSocial aspectsRock musicHistory and criticism.781.66/0973Altschuler Glenn C879880MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910812259903321All shook up4114792UNINA
