THE CONCEPT OF RELIGION REFLECTED IN THE EARLY NEGRO SPIRITUALS

About the Book

The aim of this book is the discussion of the social environment of the spirituals, and to describe the conditions out of which the spirituals were born. It does not propose to give a complete account of slave life, rather the slave's religion as presented in the spirituals as born.
