Omschrijving
Turner straddles religion, music, the performance arts, languages, nationalities, and identities skillfully . . . with aplomb, with brio, in a language all his own that sings.

A well-written, well-researched, thoughtful, and generative book.
Turner straddles religion, music, the performance arts, languages, nationalities, and identities skillfully . . . with aplomb, with brio, in a language all his own that sings.
With this book Turner issues both a warning and reassurance that while post–Hurricane Katrina New Orleans is changing, the vibrant traditions of jazz religion and second lines must continue.
People who were there should read this book. People who were not there must read it.
A well-written, well-researched, thoughtful, and generative book.
I highly recommend this text to undergrads, grads, faculty, and researchers. Its pages unfold critical analysis for the advanced scholar, and its prose makes clear a complex culture to the casual learner.
Richard Brent Turner is Professor of Religious Studies and African American Studies at the University of Iowa. He is author of Islam in the African-American Experience (IUP, 2003). In the late 1990s, Turner lived in New Orleans while teaching at Xavier University.
