Political Presuppositions & Implicatures of the Most Popular African-American Hymns (Hardcover, Uk Ed.)

This book presents a textual analysis of the three most popular
hymns that have served as important political symbols to
African-Americans for many years: (1) Lift Every Voice and Sing
(the Negro National Anthem), (2) We Shall Overcome, and (3)
Precious Lord, Take My Hand. The major questions probed in the
present book are: (1) What salient political presuppositions and
implicatures are imbedded in the three texts studied? (2) How can
the delineated presuppositions and implicatures be explained? In
exploring these questions, the systematic application of discovery
procedures well-known in linguistic pragmatics will help to uncover
propositions that will illuminate the texts examined for readers.
