First brought to the stage by choral ensembles like the Fisk Jubilee Singers, spirituals anchored a wide range of late 19th-century entertainments, including minstrelsy, variety, and plays by both black and white companies. In this work on postbellum spirituals in theatrical entertainments, Sandra Jean Graham mines a trove of resources to chart the spiritual's journey from the private lives of slaves to the concert stage. Graham navigates the conflicting agendas of those who, in adapting spirituals for their own ends, sold conceptions of racial identity to their patrons.Music in American life.African AmericansMusicHistory and criticismJubilee singersSpirituals (Songs)United States19th centuryHistory and criticismMinstrel showsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryElectronic books.African AmericansMusicHistory and criticism.Jubilee singers.Spirituals (Songs)History and criticism.Minstrel showsHistory782.2530973Graham Sandra J(Sandra Jean),977329MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467774903321Spirituals and the birth of a black entertainment industry2226380UNINA
