Book synopsis

Generally associated with the New Left politics of the 1960s, Bob Dylan's political worldview transcends that narrow description. The ideas he has expressed in songs and interviews can be categorized as traditional, populist, and Christian anarchistic. From his youth in Minnesota to the present, Dylan has embodied a political view that supports the underdog, questions those in power, and subscribes to sacred, universal truths. Whether viewed through his Jewish roots or Christian conversion, the singer has advocated freedom, justice, equality, and salvation as he has critiqued society. Bob Dylan's Political World investigates his relationship to the social, political, and religious cultures that acted upon Dylan and to which he reacted, the world that he influenced and that influenced him.
