Markus Jaeger Books

Markus Jäger examines the intertwining of Joan Baez's music career and her role as a political activist over the past fifty years. He highlights her impact not only on her audiences and adversaries but also on victims of political violence who have benefited from her activism. The study posits that blending popular culture with political engagement can effectively foster non-violent societal progress, using Baez's work as a compelling illustration of this concept.

Markus Jaeger explores the coalescence of Joan Baez's work as a singer and songwriter with her endeavors as a political activist throughout the last sixty years. This revised and updated edition includes an additional chapter on Baez's artistic and political endeavors in the 2010s.
