"An exhaustive, meticulous history of the role of song in African American liberation movements. . . . Darden's readable, song-by-song reconstruction of the movement's history serves as an in-depth history of the movement itself. Summing up: Essential."

--F. J. Hay Choice

"Darden's finest book on black sacred music to date. . . . Noting how spirituals are still sung to embolden freedom fighters around the world, Darden reminds us that protest music remains a balm as well as a call to action against political oppression."

--Robert M. Marovitch Association for Recorded Sound Collections Journal

Volume 1 of Nothing but Love in God’s Water traced the music of protest spirituals from the Civil War to the American labor movement of the 1930s and 1940s, and on through the Montgomery bus boycott. This second volume continues the journey, chronicling the role this music played in energizing and sustaining those most heavily involved in the civil rights movement.
