La lucha contra la segregación racial y por los derechos civiles en Estados Unidos

una aproximación a través de la canción-protesta estadounidense

Resumen

La segregación racial instaurada en Estados Unidos a finales del siglo xix fue objeto de crítica y rechazo por determinados sectores de la sociedad norteamericana. Estos formaron diversas organizaciones que canalizaron este descontento e intentaron vertebrar una respuesta que pusiera fin a la situación de desigualdad. La nueva coyuntura nacional e internacional alcanzada durante las décadas de 1950 y 1960, acentuó la pugna por los derechos civiles a través de nuevas formas de resistencia y crítica al régimen segregacionista.Esta nueva situación generó una abundante producción musical que, en forma de canción protesta y canciones por la libertad, sirvió de vehículo de expresión al movimiento por los derechos civiles de la comunidad afroamericana, expresando sus aspiraciones y frustraciones.El objetivo del presente texto es recopilar y examinar el retrato que estas composiciones cultivaron de la segregación y de la lucha por los derechos civiles a través de los acontecimientos que jalonaron esta reivindicación. Para ello, este artículo tendrá en cuenta las acciones de protesta destinadas a conseguir una nueva legislación que pusiera fin a la segregación racial y las reacciones violentas que ello suscitó en los estados sureños. Finalmente, todo ello se realizará a través de un análisis de los contenidos líricos que nos permitirá determinar el posicionamiento de los cantautores investigados y determinar su aproximación a la realidad.
