Extract

My subject is the religion of the black American and my thesis is twofold: that the black man's religion is a religion of soul and that the soul of the black man's religion is his music. My concentration is on the spirituals. The paragraphs that follow are in part an abstract of my paper and in part a bibliographical essay indicating some studies or interpretations on which I draw or to which I am indebted.
