DESCRIPTION:From the earliest days of rock and roll\, white artists regular
 ly achieved fame\, wealth\, and success that eluded the Black artists whose
  work had preceded and inspired them. This dynamic continued into the 1960s
 \, even as the music and its fans grew to be more engaged with political is
 sues regarding race. In Tear Down the Walls: White Radicalism and Black Pow
 er in 1960s Rock\, Patrick Burke tells the story of white American and Brit
 ish rock musicians’ engagement with Black Power politics and African Americ
 an music during the volatile years of 1968 and 1969. The book sheds new lig
 ht on a significant but overlooked facet of 1960s rock — white musicians an
 d audiences casting themselves as political revolutionaries by enacting a r
 omanticized vision of African American identity. Patrick Burke is associate
  professor of music at Washington University in St. Louis. He is the author
  of Come In and Hear the Truth: Jazz and Race on 52nd Street\, also publish
 ed by the University of Chicago Press.
