They Bear Acquaintance: African American Spirituals and the Camp Meetings

by Nancy Graham

Identifying the roots of African American Spirituals and other religious folk music has intrigued academics, hymnologists and song leaders since this genre came to the public eye in 1867. This book examines twentieth-century research, and new material from this century in an attempt to preserve and affirm this musical genre.
