The article explores the rich terrain of gospel from the pre-civil war period affirming that the gospel lyrics defamiliarised the familiar and common place into extraordinary and original through transformative imagination further translated through performances. Building on the ideas of black feminists/womanists who were a significant part of the black liberation movement/black arts movement inspired by the developments of the black power movement that brought forth the black aesthetic, the article discusses the intersecting grounds at which womanism and ecofeminism seem to meet, eventually gravitating towards a detailed ecofeminist analysis of the genre, its developments, and thematic concerns, along with the key women artists’ oeuvre. |
