Pitchfork presents the 11th issue of our quarterly music publication The Pitchfork Review. This issue, we look at the intersection between music and politics, examining how music has been a tool for social justice. Interviews with politically-focused artists like M.I.A. and Patti Smith and a history of the Brazilian social movement Tropicália are included alongside an oral history of Kendrick Lamar's "Alright," which became an anthem of Black Live Matter movement.
