African American Spirituals Amidst Scripture as
Embodied Transformation
This presentation provides an
overview of African American
Spirituals, their connection with
Scripture, and how the living
and performance of these
“chants of collective exorcism
served as transformative
bolsters of courage and faith
during the antebellum and Civil Rights Eras. Parallels will also
be drawn between the
Spirituals and selected Hip Hop
music.
