write a 500-word response paper (~2 pages) focusing on the selected chapters. Please do not make this a summary of the chapters. Please think about and analyze what you read. You must refer to specific page numbers and/or very brief quotes in your response to demonstrate engagement with and an understanding of the material. You are encouraged to write using first person perspective, but please be sure to use academic prose (avoid using contractions, etc.). You must use MLA format* for citing page numbers, quotes, or paraphrased information from the chapters. You may choose to consider and analyze some or all of the following issues in your response paper:
• Music’s potential to harm a social movement:
• hero worship
• dangers of solidarity
• perceptions of survival and resistance
• The authors’ analysis of the function of musicking within a social movement:
• Participation (who participates?)
• Importance of music in a particular movement
• Roles of tradition, musical qualities, and musicians within a movement
• Politically conscious artists:
• Musician’s individual goals
• Their alignment with a specific movement
• Relationship between the movement, their fanbase, and the music industry
• Potential challenges for politically concerned musicians
• Authenticity vs. appropriation
