Joan Baez, une icône rebelle

Autor: Elizabeth Thomson

Número de Páginas: 271

Joan Baez occupe une place singulière dans l’histoire de la musique. Autrice-compositrice de talent, elle a signé certains des plus grands albums folk du XXe siècle. Elle a aussi été le mentor de nombreux artistes, au rang desquels Bob Dylan, Josh Ritter et Dar Williams. Mais l’histoire de Joan Baez est aussi celle de son époque. Soutien des plus démunis, défenseuse acharnée des droits de l’homme, elle s’est mise au service de grandes causes, au péril parfois de sa vie. De la Marche sur Washington, au côté de Martin Luther King, à ses concerts improvisés dans la ville assiégée de Sarajevo, en passant par ses combats contre Donald Trump, elle est aujourd’hui l’une des artistes engagées les plus marquantes de sa génération. Avec cette biographie, enrichie de photographies et d’entretiens inédits, Elizabeth Thomson retrace le parcours exceptionnel de l’autrice de « Diamonds and Rust » et rappelle combien son œuvre et son influence ont à jamais marqué l’histoire.

Joan Baez : "Non à l'injustice"

Autor: Murielle Szac

Número de Páginas: 53

Dans une Amérique des années 1960, où la ségrégation raciale bat son plein, où les jeunes gens sont recrutés pour aller se battre au Vietnam, où les essais nucléaires sont censés affirmer la suprématie de ce grand pays, la voix de Joan Baez, si mélodieuse, s'élève. Tout au long des années qui suivront, cette voix ne cessera jamais de chanter contre les injustices et les souffrances qu'elles engendrent. C'est à travers une autre voix, celle d'une narratrice qui a, toute sa vie, suivi le parcours de la chanteuse, que le portrait sensible de cette dernière se dessine.

Popular Is Not Enough: The Political Voice Of Joan Baez

Autor: Markus Jaeger

Número de Páginas: 229

In his study, 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 fifty years. He illustrates an American popular singer's significance as a political activist -- for her audiences and for her opponents as well as for those victims of politically organized violence who have profited from her work. Mingling popular culture with political activism can be a helpful means to achieve non-violent societal progress. Joan Baez's work offers an excellent example for this hypothesis.

Joan Baez : "Non à l'injustice"

Autor: Murielle Szac

Número de Páginas: 77

"Elle empoigne sa guitare en la tenant très haut, comme à son habitude. Elle regarde la foule à ses pieds. Combien sont-ils ? Deux cent mille ? Trois cent mille ? Peu importe. L'histoire retiendra qu'une marée humaine est venue de tout le pays [...]. Sa voix monte dans les aigus et son chant, repris par des centaines de milliers de voix, réclame à la face du ciel l'abolition des lois de discrimination raciale et les mêmes droits civiques pour tous. La jeune chanteuse de folk utilise sa célébrité toute neuve pour défendre ses idées. Derrière son épaule se tient un garçon dont elle est folle amoureuse et que la jeune star emmène partout. Il s'appelle Bob Dylan et vient d'offrir lui aussi à la foule plusieurs chansons abolitionnistes et pacifistes."

Joan Baez

Autor: Charles J. Fuss

Número de Páginas: 0

Still a highly visible figure, Joan Baez has long been known for social activism and her support of people victimized by poverty and political misfortune. To trace her career is comparable to tracing the social history of her time, and it is often difficult to separate the political activist from the musician. This volume is a comprehensive reference guide to her life and career. A biography concisely summarizes her achievements, while annotated entries detail her work in music and film. Entries provide critical commentary, and a bibliography cites and annotates additional works. In 1960, when Joan Baez was just 19 years old, she had already signed a contract with Vanguard Records and released her first, and perhaps most influential, album of folk songs, ^IJoan Baez^R. Her rapid rise in music seemed effortless, and she quickly became a symbol of the blossoming youth culture. She easily filled a niche within the music industry and became the first female artist to achieve massive international success as a folk singer. Still a highly visible figure, she has long been known for social activism and her support of people victimized by poverty and political misfortune. Through a...
