Becca Whitla uses liberationist, postcolonial, and decolonial
methods to analyze hymns, congregational singing, and song-leading
practices. By way of this analysis, Whitla shows how congregational
singing can embody liberating liturgy and theology. Through a
series of interwoven theoretical lenses and methodological
tools-including coloniality, mimicry, epistemic disobedience,
hybridity, border thinking, and ethnomusicology-the author examines
and interrogates a range of factors in the musical sphere. From
beloved Victorian hymns to infectious Latin American coritos;
congregational singing to radical union choirs; Christian
complicity in coloniality to Indigenous ways of knowing, the
dynamic praxis-based stance of the book is rooted in the author's
lived experiences and commitments and engages with detailed
examples from sacred music and both liturgical and practical
theology. Drawing on what she calls a syncopated liberating praxis,
the author affirms the intercultural promise of communities of
faith as a locus theologicus and a place for the in-breaking of the
Holy Spirit.
