Hymns and Constructions of Race: Mobility, Agency, and De/Coloniality explores how the hymn has reinforced, negotiated, and resisted constructions of race, with case studies from China, Brazil, Suriname, and South Africa.

Hymns and Constructions of Race: Mobility, Agency, and De/Coloniality delves into the profound ways in which hymns have played a central role in shaping, challenging, and transforming constructions of race throughout history. This interdisciplinary study brings together a diverse array of perspectives from musicology, ethnomusicology, theology, anthropology, performance studies, history, and postcolonial scholarship to explore the multifaceted dimensions of the hymn's influence.
Spanning a global spectrum, the contributors to this volume hail from various historical and geographical contexts, offering case studies from China, Brazil, Suriname, South Africa, and beyond. Through their insightful analyses, they shed light on the hymn as both a product and a catalyst of imperialism and settler colonialism, as well as a vehicle for sonic oppression and resistance.
The volume contends that the lived tradition of hymn-singing, deeply rooted in centuries of global Christian mission, provides a unique lens through which to examine both local and global negotiations of race, power, and identity. By exploring the intersections of faith, music, and cultural heritage, Hymns and Constructions of Race offers valuable insights for scholars engaged in the study of religion, music, race, and postcolonialism.
This comprehensive volume is a testament to the enduring power of hymns to shape and reshape our understanding of race and identity, fostering dialogue, empathy, and social change.
