Joan Baez and the Issue of Vietnam: Art and Activism versus Conventionality

Two outstanding components of peace studies are analysed in this book. Markus Jäger wrote a detailed study on the way singer and activist Joan Baez combined her art and activism to protest against the Vietnam War. Baez, who is still active and creative today, is depicted as a timeless heroine; making timeless music and proving the timeless relevance of peaceful protest against violent authorities.
