Spirituals and the Birth of a Black Entertainment Industry (Paperback)

Spirituals performed by jubilee troupes became a sensation in
post-Civil War America. First brought to the stage by choral
ensembles like the Fisk Jubilee Singers, spirituals anchored a wide
range of late nineteenth-century entertainments, including
minstrelsy, variety, and plays by both black and white companies.
In the first book-length treatment of postbellum spirituals in
theatrical entertainments, Sandra Jean Graham mines a trove of
resources to chart the spiritual's journey from the private lives
of slaves to the concert stage. Graham navigates the conflicting
agendas of those who, in adapting spirituals for their own ends,
sold conceptions of racial identity to their patrons. In so doing
they lay the foundation for a black entertainment industry whose
artistic, financial, and cultural practices extended into the
twentieth century. A companion website contains jubilee troupe
personnel, recordings, and profiles of 85 jubilee groups. Please go
