Download or read book Forged in the Fiery Furnace written by Diana L. Hayes and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American spirituality was forged in the fiery furnace of slavery, segregation, and ongoing racial discrimination in both church and society. But African Americans are a people who are strengthened rather than weakened by their experience. This volume traces how African Americans have articulated their faith and love of God in language, song, and daily living. Beginning with its spiritual roots in Africa, Hayes shows how African American spirituality encompassed and incorporated the experience of slavery and the encounter with Christianity. Remarkably, African American slaves were able to find in the religion of their oppressors a message of hope, affirmation, and resistance. Through stories, song, distinctive forms of prayer, celebration, and prophetic witness, Hayes shows how the spirituality of African Americans has nurtured their survival as well as promoting action on behalf of the community and the greater society.

Download or read book SACRED SONG SURVIVAL SALVATION IN THE AFRICAN AMERICAN RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE written by Kathryn Baker Kemp and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enslaved Africans brought their music and religion with them to America. They adapted their spiritual worldview into the existing Christian framework for survival. The God of the oppressor was transformed into the God of liberation and justice. Salvation became the conduit for survival. Sacred song was embedded with African spirituality and African American theology to create a religious experience from the seventeenth century to the twentieth century that sustained African American people and became established forms of praise and worship. The Civil Rights movement changed the religious reality of African American people. Sacred song in the twenty- first century has many challenges. Will the legacy and heritage of sacred song survive?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Spirituals have inspired and illuminated the lives of generations of Americans. Invented, edited, and transformed by those who sang them, spirituals are a source of pride and of cultural knowledge - strengthening, heartening, and informing." "Artist Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson, having drawn courage and wisdom from these songs all her life, here presents the images they evoke in her. She incorporates texts into the art - some from a little book of spirituals that was given to her when she was nine years old, some from a lifetime of "just hearing songs." Aminah has "re-remembered" these songs, adding to them, rearranging them, interpreting them. In this collection of striking drawings she passes on to the children of the future "the teachings," the lessons of the past, the lessons of the spirituals, as she has understood them."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
