Gospel music has long shaped and reflected Black Americans’ striving toward freedom. But in the 1990s, influenced by megachurches and new theological trends, gospel artists largely discarded political themes. The result, Charrise Barron shows, was mass-market success—at the cost of gospel’s historical role as a prophetic voice against injustice.
