This course explores the social, cultural, and political contexts for the evolution of rock and roll music during the post-Second World War era when a new musical form was grafted onto the popular music industry. Beginning with the roots of rock and roll music in African American communities, the course follows the progress of rock and roll music from the early 1950s to the Punk era of the late 1970s, focusing on the symbiotic relationship between iconic performers and their times.
