Thoughtful, accessible essays provide social background while introducing songwriters and performers associated with eight areas of activism ... Expect lots of interest, humming, and sing-alongs."

"Music is often so bound up with being a teenager. So is rebellion. Rise Up and Sing! will amplify those intimate relationships by showing young people just how powerful music has always been in creating action and change."
-Tanya Boteju, author of Kings, Queens, and In-Betweens
"An incredible and vital celebration of how music can shape and transform activist movements, Rise Up and Sing! is both thought-provoking and inspiring. Warner proves to be a deft writer who has so much passion for her source material and delivers a powerful guide to some of music's most pivotal moments and artists, highlighting their impact on climate justice, racial and gender equality, and 2SLGBTQIA+ rights. This is a terrific and visually gorgeous resource, appealing to readers of all ages."
