This account of politics and popular music develops the concept of """"acting in concert,"""" a metaphor for community based political action that is communicated in and around music. Through detailed case studies, the text explores how communities use popular music to understand democratic processes.

Offers an alternative to the traditional approaches to the study and teaching of political philosophy. Political ideas drawn from historical and analytical political philosophy are used to help rethink public problems and imagine potential solutions to them.
