Description: Flaming? by Alisha Lola Jones Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Examining the spectrum of "flamboyant" gender expression of male vocalists in historically black churches, Flaming?: The Peculiar Theo-Politics of Fire and Desire in Black Male Gospel Performance observes the relationship between these men, their congregations, and the heteronormativity of theology they perform. Publisher Description The "flamboyant" male vocalists in the Black Pentecostal music ministry tradition display a spectrum of gender performances to their fellow worshippers that subtly protest and critiques the otherwise heteronormative theology in with the service is entrenched. In Flaming?: The Peculiar Theopolitics of Fire and Desire in Black Male Gospel Performance, author Alisha Lola Jones observes how male vocalists traverse their tightly-knit social network and negotiate their identities through and beyond the worship experience, thereby addressing the ways in which gospel music and performance can afford African American men not only greater visibility, but also an affirmation of their fitness to minister through speech and song.
