Studying the origins of the spirituals,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Trouble I've Seen: The Big Book of Negro Spirituals (Paperback)
Written by Assumptionist priest and theology professor Bruno Chenu of France, The Trouble I've Seen: The Big Book of Negro Spirituals is an extraordinary exploration of the origin and history of Negro spirituals. Studying the origins of the spirituals particularly during the North American slave trade from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries, and the common themes found among approximately 6,000 different spirituals, and drawing upon the personal testimonies of free and former slaves to flesh out its extrapolations, The Trouble I've Seen offers a unique and profound contribition to religion and spirituality history and reference shelves. The full text of 200 spirituals and a music CD of eighteen spirituals round out this truly remarkable and devoted compendium.
