520    Perhaps the most widely recognized figure in folk music 
       and one of the most controversial figures in American 
       political activism, Pete Seeger now belongs among the 
       icons of 20th-century American culture. The road to his 
       current status as activist and respected voice of folk 
       music was long and often rough, starting from the moment 
       he dropped out of Harvard in the late 1930s and picked up 
       a banjo. Editors Cohen and Capaldi trace Seeger's long and
       storied career, focusing on his work as not only a singer,
       but as an educator, songwriter, organizer, publisher, and 
       journalist. The son of musicians, Seeger began his musical
       career before World War II and became well-known in the 
       1950s as a member of the commercially popular Weavers, 
       only to be blacklisted by much of the mainstream media in 
       the 1960s because of his progressive politics, and to 
       return to the music scene in subsequent decades as a 
       tireless educator and activist. The Pete Seeger Reader 
       gathers writings from numerous sources, mixing Seeger's 
       own work with that of the many people who have, over the 
       years, written about him. Many of the pieces have never 
       before been republished, and cover his entire career. A 
       figure of amazing productivity, influence, and longevity, 
       Seeger is author of a life that has been both cast in 
       heroic terms and vilified. The selections in this book 
       draw from a full range of these perspectives and will 
       inform as they entertain, bringing into focus the life and
       contributions of one of the most influential figures of 
       the twentieth century.
