Whilst it is widely acknowledged that \u003cem\u003eHair\u003c\/em\u003e is a product of the sixties counter-culture, this study will place the analysis in its socio-historical context to specifically reveal American values towards race, gender, and adolescence. In arguing that \u003cem\u003eHair\u003c\/em\u003e is a rebellion against the established normative values of both American society and the art form of the musical itself, this book will suggest ways in which \u003cem\u003eHair\u003c\/em\u003e can be considered utopian: not only as a utopian 'text' but in the practices and values it embodies, and the emotions it generates in its audiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of great interest to scholars and students of music, musical theatre, popular music, American studies, film studies, gender studies, or African American studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46443114725527,"sku":"9781032224732","price":3486.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032224732.webp?v=1769125334","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/staging-rebellion-in-the-musical-hair-marginalised-voices-in-musical-theatre-9781032224732","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
