We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Ronnie Gilbert: A Radical Life in Song" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Ronnie Gilbert brings the political, artistic, and social issues of the era alive through song lyrics and personal stories, traversing sixty years of collaborations in life and art that span the folk revival, the Cold War blacklist, primal therapy, the back-to-the-land movement, and a rich, multigenerational family story. Much more than a memoir, Ronnie Gilbert is a unique and engaging historical document for readers interested in music, theater, American politics, the womens movement, and left-wing activism.
