Editorial Reviews
Gospel Today, August 2004
"If you enjoy Gospel music, you'll enjoy this book. . . . " --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Review
Jackson shows how over the 20th century, black gospel music remained sacred but also became an important source of black identity. She argues that its recognition outside of the church raised tensions that show how African Americans made sense of social and cultural developments that unfolded during the twentieth century.
