Hats are everywhere, in exquisite variety, and the characters use the hats to tell tales concerning everything from the etiquette of hats to their historical and contemporary social functioning. There is a hat for every occasion, from flirting to churchgoing to funerals to baptisms, and the tradition of hats is traced back to African rituals and slavery and forward to the New Testament and current fashion. Some rap but predominantly gospel music and dance underscore and support the narratives. The conclusion finds the standoffish young woman, whose cultural identity as a young black Brooklyn woman has been so at odds with the more traditional and older Southern blacks, embracing hats and their cultural significance as a part of her own fiercely independent identity. --From publisher's description. 650 0 $a Musicals $v Librettos. 650 7 $a Musicals $x Librettos. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030828 655 7 $a Librettos. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692883 655 7 $a Musicals. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726680 655 0 $a Musicals $x Librettos. 655 7 $a Musicals. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Librettos. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Cunningham, Michael, $d 1969 February 27- $t Crowns. 941 $a 1 952 $l ULAX314 $d 20190926090047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1842B7DCE02711E98EBD524297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IOLInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
