Christian Folk Music

Carnival and Other Christian Festivals: Folk Theology and Folk Performance by Max Harris,

"Dr. Harris has preempted a field almost unto himself: the study of contemporary festivals that have their origins in tradition, history, christian folk music and the great religious celebrations of the past. . . . [This book] represents a masterful achievement."--Milla Cozart Riggio, James J. Goodwin Professor of English, Trinity College, Hartford, ConnecticutWith a riotous mix of saints christian folk music and devils, street theater christian folk music and dancing, christian folk music and music christian folk music and fireworks, Christian festivals are some of the most lively christian folk music and colorful spectacles that occur in Spain christian folk music and its former European christian folk music and American possessions. That these folk celebrations, with roots reaching back to medieval times, remain vibrant in the high-tech culture of the twenty-first century strongly suggests that they also provide an indispensable vehicle for expressing hopes, fears, christian folk music and desires that people can articulate in no other way. In this book, Max Harris explores christian folk music and develops principles for understanding the folk theology underlying patronal saints' day festivals, feasts of Corpus Christi, christian folk music and Carnivals through a series of vivid, first-hand accounts of these festivities throughout Spain christian folk music and in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Peru, Trinidad, Bolivia, christian folk music and Belgium. Paying close attention to the signs encoded in folk performances, he finds in these festivals a folk theology of social justice that--however obscured by official rhetoric, by distracting theories of archaic origin, or by the performers' own need to mask their resistance to authority--is often in articulate christian folk music and complex dialogue with the power structures that surround it. This discovery sheds important new light on the meanings of religious festivals celebrated from Belgium to Peru christian folk music and on the sophisticatedtheatrical performances they embody.
