Book Freedom s Coming

    Book Details:
  • Author : Paul Harvey
  • Publisher : UNC Press Books
  • Release : 2012-09-01
  • ISBN : 1469606429
  • Pages : 357 pages

Download or read book Freedom s Coming written by Paul Harvey and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sweeping analysis of religion in the post-Civil War and twentieth-century South, Freedom's Coming puts race and culture at the center, describing southern Protestant cultures as both priestly and prophetic: as southern formal theology sanctified dominant political and social hierarchies, evangelical belief and practice subtly undermined them. The seeds of subversion, Paul Harvey argues, were embedded in the passionate individualism, exuberant expressive forms, and profound faith of believers in the region. Harvey explains how black and white religious folk within and outside of mainstream religious groups formed a southern "evangelical counterculture" of Christian interracialism that challenged the theologically grounded racism pervasive among white southerners and ultimately helped to end Jim Crow in the South. Moving from the folk theology of segregation to the women who organized the Montgomery bus boycott, from the hymn-inspired freedom songs of the 1960s to the influence of black Pentecostal preachers on Elvis Presley, Harvey deploys cultural history in fresh and innovative ways and fills a decades-old need for a comprehensive history of Protestant religion and its relationship to the central question of race in the South for the postbellum and twentieth-century period.

Book Little Black Train

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jordan Smith
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2020
  • ISBN : 9780998340647
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Little Black Train written by Jordan Smith and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Old loves--especially music and art--once again kindle a poetry of beguiling eloquence and erudition for Jordan Smith and highlights of this collection include two memorable suites of poems: "Eight Hats," based on paintings by Walter Hatke, and "Sketches for a Novel," drawing on paintings in the National Gallery of Ireland. The pull of the past is strong for Smith and these poems are replete with references to touchstones of other eras--straw boaters, Wobblies, R.D. Laing, old time hymns, Monopoly games...but nostalgia is leavened by a new political urgency, the ecstasies and explicatives of today.

Book Protest   Praise

    Book Details:
  • Author : Jon Michael Spencer
  • Publisher : Fortress Press
  • Release :
  • ISBN : 9781451411645
  • Pages : 280 pages

Download or read book Protest Praise written by Jon Michael Spencer and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a skillful tracing of two tracks in the evolution of musical genres that have evolved from black religion. Songs of protest developed from the spiritual through social-gospel hymnody to culminate in songs of the civil-rights movement and the blues. Born in rebellion, they envision the Kingdom of God.Songs of praise, by contrast, express adoration. Beginning with the "ring-shout," Spencer follows the history of intoned declamation through the tongue song, Holiness-Pentecostal music, and the chanted sermon of the black preacher. Spencer's approach, termed theomusicology, unlocks the wealth of African-American sacred music with a theological key. The result is a fascinating account of a people's struggle with God in history.

  • Author : Cecil Foster
  • Publisher : Biblioasis
  • Release : 2019-02-05
  • ISBN : 1771962623
  • Pages : 332 pages

Download or read book They Call Me George written by Cecil Foster and published by Biblioasis. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CBC BOOKS MUST-READ NONFICTION BOOK FOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH Nominated for the Toronto Book Award Smartly dressed and smiling, Canada’s black train porters were a familiar sight to the average passenger—yet their minority status rendered them politically invisible, second-class in the social imagination that determined who was and who was not considered Canadian. Subjected to grueling shifts and unreasonable standards—a passenger missing his stop was a dismissible offense—the so-called Pullmen of the country’s rail lines were denied secure positions and prohibited from bringing their families to Canada, and it was their struggle against the racist Dominion that laid the groundwork for the multicultural nation we know today. Drawing on the experiences of these influential black Canadians, Cecil Foster’s They Call Me George demonstrates the power of individuals and minority groups in the fight for social justice and shows how a country can change for the better.

Book Lining Out the Word

    Book Details:
  • Author : William T. Dargan
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2006-06-27
  • ISBN : 9780520928923
  • Pages : 356 pages

Download or read book Lining Out the Word written by William T. Dargan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2006-06-27 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, a milestone in American music scholarship, is the first to take a close look at an important and little-studied component of African American music, one that has roots in Europe, but was adapted by African American congregations and went on to have a profound influence on music of all kinds—from gospel to soul to jazz. "Lining out," also called Dr. Watts hymn singing, refers to hymns sung to a limited selection of familiar tunes, intoned a line at a time by a leader and taken up in turn by the congregation. From its origins in seventeenth-century England to the current practice of lining out among some Baptist congregations in the American South today, William Dargan’s study illuminates a unique American music genre in a richly textured narrative that stretches from Isaac Watts to Aretha Franklin and Ornette Coleman. Lining Out the Word traces the history of lining out from the time of slavery, when African American slaves adapted the practice for their own uses, blending it with other music, such as work songs. Dargan explores the role of lining out in worship and pursues the cultural implications of this practice far beyond the limits of the church, showing how African Americans wove African and European elements together to produce a powerful and unique cultural idiom. Drawing from an extraordinary range of sources—including his own fieldwork and oral sources—Dargan offers a compelling new perspective on the emergence of African American music in the United States.
