Spirituals and the birth of a Black entertainment industry / Sandra Jean Graham. by Graham, Sandra J. (Sandra Jean) University of Illinois Press, 2018. Call #: 782.253 G742s Subjects Blacks -- Music -- History and criticism.   Jubilee singers.   Spirituals (Songs) -- United States -- 19th century -- History and criticism.   Minstrel shows -- United States -- History -- 19th century. Series Music in American life. ISBN:  9780252083273 (pbk.) Description:  xvi, 330 p. : ill., music ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 301-312) and index. Summary:  In the first book-length treatment of 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. In so doing they laid the foundation for a black entertainment industry whose artistic, financial, and cultural practices extended into the twentieth century.
