Is folk music political? That's certainly the impression left by the '60s, when folk music and progressive politics seemed to be the twin engines of social change. Using live, archival, and recorded music, the instructor leads an exploration of the tumultuous marriage of folk music and politics -- from 16th-century ballads to the coded sedition of slave spirituals, from the "singing strikes" of the labor movement to the singer-songwriters of today.
