In this study, acknowledging the importance of conjure as a religious, political, and epistemological practice, Johari Jabir demonstrates how the musical performance allowed troop members to embody new identities in relation to national citizenship, militarism, and masculinity in more inclusive ways. Jabir also establishes how these musical practices of the regiment persisted long after the Civil War in Black culture, resisting, for instance, the paternalism and co-optive state antiracism of the film Glory, and the assumption that Blacks need to be deracinated to be full citizens. Reflecting the structure of the ring shout--the counterclockwise song, dance, drum, and story in African American history and culture--Conjuring Freedom offers three new concepts to cultural studies in order to describe the practices, techniques, and implications of the troop's performance: (1) Black Communal Conservatories, borrowing from Robert Farris Thompson's "invisible academies" to describe the structural but spontaneous quality of black music-making, (2) Listening Hermeneutics, which accounts for the generative and material affects of sound on meaning-making, and (3) Sonic Politics, which points to the political implications of music's use in contemporary representations of race and history. 610 10 $a United States. $b South Carolina Volunteers, 1st (1862-1864) $b South Carolina Volunteers, 1st (1862-1864) 610 10 $a United States. $b Army $x African American troops. 600 10 $a Higginson, Thomas Wentworth, $d 1823-1911. 600 17 $a Higginson, Thomas Wentworth, $d 1823-1911. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00011713 610 17 $a United States. $b Army. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533532 610 17 $a United States. $b South Carolina Volunteers, 1st (1862-1864) $b South Carolina Volunteers, 1st (1862-1864) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00568016 611 27 $a American Civil War (1861-1865) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351658 650 0 $a African Americans $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Spirituals (Songs) $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Ring shout (Dance) 650 0 $a Masculinity. 651 0 $a United States $x African Americans. $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $x African Americans. 650 7 $a African Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799558 650 7 $a African Americans $x Music. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799648 650 7 $a Armed Forces $x African American troops. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01351728 650 7 $a Masculinity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011027 650 7 $a Ring shout (Dance) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01097997 650 7 $a Spirituals (Songs) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01130204 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1861-1865 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Black performance and cultural criticism. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1703/2016046333-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u https://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1703/2016046333-d.html 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020020328.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170405035531.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=260424CA19C611E7BD0085CCDAD10320 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
