The Republic of Rock

The Republic of Rock uncovers the lost story of rock music and citizenship in the sixties counterculture by tracing the way people in two key places-San Francisco and Vietnam-used rock to make sense of their lives and the world around them.

Michael J. Kramer teaches History and American Studies at Northwestern University, and writes about arts and culture at www.culturerover.com.
