"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. The conversation on origins has waned and waxed for over eighty
years, sometimes polemical, sometimes compromising. They Bear Acquaintance looks at
this discussion through the output of various well-regarded researchers from the twentieth
century. The effects of cultural distinctions, immigration patterns and class structure
have all left their imprint on the anatomy of the music. No one living has ever heard
a spiritual performed in an authentic setting, so misconceptions abound. Pre-dating
the American Civil War and achieving global attention in the Civil Rights movement,
the spirituals soften the edges of difficult situations, and speak gently, yet poignantly,
to human struggles. The book also pinpoints new material from a wide range of sources
in the twenty-first century that will preserve and affirm this music for many years
to come."
