Vechtend met woorden en melodie. Het lied als protestmiddel in Nederland

Abstract

In scientific research in the Netherlands, there is not yet a publication fully dedicated to contemporary Dutch-language protest songs. Laurens Ham’s book Op de vuist. Vijftig jaar politiek en protestliedjes in Nederland, published in 2020, is therefore pioneering. It shows Dutch protest music and its relationship to the changing political and social situation in the Netherlands over a period of fifty years, that is, from the 1960s to the first two decades of the 21st century.
