A key feature of African American performance is the layering of performative voices and the constant shifting of performative focus. To capture this layering, Hinson demonstrates how all the parts of the gospel program work together to shape a single whole, joining speech and song, performer and audience, testimony, prayer, preaching, and singing into a seamless and multifaceted service of worship. Personal stories ground the discussion at every turn, while experiential testimony fuels the unfolding arguments. Fire in My Bones is an original exploration of experience and belief in a community of African American Christians, but it is also an exploration of African American aesthetics, the study of belief, and the ethnographic enterprise.Contemporary ethnography.African American public worshipExperience (Religion)African AmericansReligionEthnography.African Studies.African-American Studies.American History.American Studies.Anthropology.Folklore.Linguistics.Religion.Religious Studies.African American public worship.Experience (Religion)African AmericansReligion.306.6/64/008996073Hinson Glenn1603827Freeman Roland L.1936-2023.1603828MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910820208203321Fire in my bones3928386UNINA
