Stephen Stacks looks at how post-1968 freedom song helps us negotiate our present relationship to the era while at the same time sustaining the contemporary struggle inspired by it. \u003cp\u003e Stacks’s analysis shifts the focus of attention from genre--freedom song--to process and practice--freedom singing. As he shows, freedom singing after 1968 generates multilayered meanings. It can reinforce, or resist, consensus memories or dominant narratives. Stacks illuminates freedom singing’s diversity by examining it in three contexts: performance, protest, and within documentary sound recording\/film. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Insightful and vividly detailed, \u003ci\u003eThe Resounding Revolution\u003c\/i\u003e examines sixty years of Black music to challenge and reshape the entrenched story of the Civil Rights Movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Introduction: Freedom Song after 1968 \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Chapter 1.
