Summary
"This book uses The Beatles as a lens through which to explore the sweeping, panoramic history of the social, cultural and political transformations that occurred in the 1960s. It draws on audience reception theory and untapped primary source material, including student newspapers, to understand how listeners would have interpreted The Beatles' songs and albums. Some key topics include race relations, gender dynamics, political and cultural upheavals, the Vietnam War and the evolution of rock music and popular culture. It also addresses the relevance of The Beatles' ideals of revolutionary change to our present day"-- Provided by publisher.
