33 Revolutions per Minute: A History of Protest Songs, from Billie Holiday to Green Day is a 2011 non-fiction book written by music critic and journalist Dorian Lynskey. Written because he wished to document a "still-vital form of music", each of the book's 33 chapters describes the historical background, writing process, and influence of a notable protest song. The book begins with a chapter on the song "Strange Fruit", before moving from a discussion of protest music's origins to a broader discussion focusing on its expansion across countries and genres. 33 Revolutions per Minute has received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its scope despite being "thin on critical insight".
