Beskrivelse af A Song to Save the Salish Sea
On the coast of Washington and British Columbia sit the misty forests and towering mountains of Cascadia. With archipelagos surrounding its shores and tidal surges of the Salish Sea trundling through the interior, this bioregion has long attracted loggers, fishing fleets, and land developers, each generation seeking successively harder to reach resources as old-growth stands, salmon stocks, and other natural endowments are depleted. Alongside encroaching developers and industrialists is the presence of a rich environmental movement that has historically built community through musical activism. From the WobbliesΓÇÖ Little Red Songbook (1909) to Woody GuthrieΓÇÖs Columbia River Songs (1941) on through to the Raging GranniesΓÇÖ formation in 1987, Cascadia''s ecology has inspired legions of songwriters and musicians to advocate for preservation through music.
In this book, Mark Pedelty explores Cascadia''s vibrant eco-musical community in order to understand how environmentalist music imagines, and perhaps even creates, a more sustainable conception of place. Highlighting the music and environmental work of such various groups as Dana Lyons, the Raging Grannies, Idle No More, Towers and Trees, and Irthlingz, among others, Pedelty examines the divergent strategiesΓÇömusical, organizational, and technologicalΓÇöused by each musical group to reach different audiences and to mobilize action. He concludes with a discussion of "applied ecomusicology," considering ways this book might be of use to activists and musicians at the community level.
