Will Kaufman is Professor of American Literature and Culture at the University of Central Lancashire, England, and author of American Culture in the 1970s; Woody Guthrie, American Radical; and Woody Guthrie's Modern World Blues.
In Woody Guthrie's Modern World Blues, Will Kaufman reveals Woody Guthrie as he most likely understood himself: modern, experimental, and, overall, fiercely progressive. This book brings Guthrie scholarship out of the dark ages and into the future by revealing the depth and complexity of Guthrie's thinking about topics such as science, technology, media, politics, gender, and race, thereby providing a more dynamic understanding of twentieth-century history and culture. Like Guthrie's own work, Kaufman's writing is clever, generous, and accessible, and whether you're a fan or a detractor, it will entirely change the way you think about 'folk' music and its possibilities."" - Edward Comentale, author of Sweet Air: Modernism, Regionalism, and American Popular Music
