Zoe C. Sherinian shows how Christian Dalits (once known as
untouchables or outcastes) in southern India have employed music to
protest social oppression and as a vehicle of liberation. Her focus
is on the life and theology of a charismatic composer and leader,
Reverend J. Theophilus Appavoo, who drew on Tamil folk music to
create a distinctive form of indigenized Christian music. Appavoo
composed songs and liturgy infused with messages linking Christian
theology with critiques of social inequality. Sherinian traces the
history of Christian music in India and introduces us to a
community of Tamil Dalit Christian villagers, seminary students,
activists, and theologians who have been inspired by Appavoo's
music to work for social justice. Multimedia components available
online include video and audio recordings of musical performances,
religious services, and community rituals.
