Nancy S. Love is Professor of Political Science in the Department of Government and Justice Studies at Appalachian State University. Her previous books include Musical Democracy and Trendy Fascism: White Power Music and the Future of Democracy, both also published by SUNY Press.

"Love makes a clear and convincing case for the power of music to help shape the way democratic citizens view their collective rights and mobilize, for better or worse. This powerful illumination of the political importance of songs of loyalty and devotion to particular political communities—whether extant or envisioned—will make a vital contribution to both studies of music and politics and the field of political theory." — Rebecca LeMoine, author of Plato's Caves: The Liberating Sting of Cultural Diversity
