Review Quotes:
"Guerrilla Music is an inspirational collection of thoroughly grounded discussions and illustrations of how music and musicking can be sites of political protest and expression. The chapters cover an exceptionally diverse range of socio-musical contexts, styles and genres from around the world. I learned a lot of really interesting stuff from this exceptional book, which is sure to make a mark on the sociology of music, ethnomusicology, critical musicology, music education and many more areas." --Lucy Green, UCL Institute of Education, London
"Guerrilla Music takes a daring dive into music as a disruptive, resistant, and rebellious force. This is a relevant and challenging exploration into music as a global means to enact justice, a human initiative that can upset societal norms and help to focus attention on the universality of perpetual harm occurring in our time." --Lee Willingham, Wilfrid Laurier University
