Abstract "This collection brings together interviews with a compelling range of musicians, artists, and activists from around the globe. What does it means for artist to be "political"? Moving away from a narrow idea about politics that is organized around elections, advocacy groups, or concrete manifestos, the subjects of 60 Revolutions per Minute do their work through song, poetry, painting, and other arts. The interviews take us from Oakland to London to Johannesburg and from the Occupy movement to the coal mines of Appalachia to the fantasy worlds created by some our most fascinating writers of spectacular fiction. Listening to some of the most important "cultural workers" of our time will challenge any idea you might have that some other time was the golden age of political art: 60 Revolutions per Minute, Worldwide gives us a front row seat to the thrilling artistic activism of our own moment"-- Provided by publisher.
