But attention to the greater economic context would have further contextualized the crisis faced by planters and the much more serious one for slaves who were brutalized and manipulated in an improbable effort to save a broken system. The many plans and projects to preserve Jamaican sugar production, including the importation of indentured servants, rose and fell again with both organizational dynamics and international events. Women’s continuing struggles to realize autonomy and agency within Jamaica’s changing agricultural system have also engaged scholars, of course, further enhancing our understanding of women’s contributions to the economic, social, and cultural history of Jamaica and the larger region. This minor reservation aside, Contested Bodies: Pregnancy, Childrearing, and Slavery in Jamaica is a major contribution to the study of Caribbean slavery, Jamaican history, and women’s studies. Turner’s conception of slave women’s bodies as key to our understanding of slavery and to the battles among abolitionists, planters, the British and Jamaican governments, and slaves themselves is a major rethinking of shifting labor regimes with the abolition of slavery and movement toward emancipation. Her deft handling of the methodological demands of a broad range of data reflecting these highly divergent viewpoints is equally strong; her efforts to trace and explicate the views and practices of slave women themselves as their roles in production and reproduction were reconceived is a model for students of history seeking to hear and share the voices of the powerless.

The Sounds of our Offerings: Achieving Excellence in Church Music by Charlotte Kroeker. Herndon, ... more The Sounds of our Offerings: Achieving Excellence in Church Music by Charlotte Kroeker. Herndon, VA: Alban, 2011. 236 pp. ISBN 978-1-56699-395-1. $17.00. Charlotte Kroeker is the Executive Director of the Church Music Institute, , a non-profit organization "dedicated to the practice, advancement, and stewardship of the best of liturgical and sacred music for worshipping Christian congregations." Before starting the Institute in 2006, she held a faculty research position in church music at the University of Notre Dame. A Mennonite in upbringing, she has held a variety of church music posts in Catholic and Protestant congregations. This book surveys the music ministries of nine congregations throughout the United States - three Roman Catholic, three Episcopalian, and three Presbyterian (PCUSA) - with the purpose of discerning those characteristics that have enabled these music ministries to achieve excellence. The Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy, the guiding document of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965), shapes the theological and liturgical assumptions of the book, especially its mandate for "full, active, and conscious participation of the people." Influential studies on methodology include research by Linda J. Clark and Mark Chaves. Clark, author of Music in Churches: Nourishing Tour Congregation's Musical £//?(1994), served as one of two co-researchers for this study. Chaves, a professor of sociology of religion, wrote Congregations in America (2004). Clergy-musician relationships, their training, and their understanding of each other's role in preparing liturgy were central to this study. The researchers asked three sets of questions over the period of engagement with the congregations that provide a deeper understanding of not only what happens in their music ministries, but also why it happens, and what sustains these programs at a high level of excellence. The congregations represent urban and suburban locations throughout the continental United States from university towns to an inner-city parish and culturally changing suburban neighborhoods. Each case study provides a "thick description" of the congregation's musical and liturgical life. While each clergy/musician team defined "excellence" according to its own musical/liturgical heritage and social location, all valued congregational singing as a means for nurturing their common prayer. While not a manual on congregational song, this book points out the significant role of the people's voice in all of the surveyed congregations and the role of congregational singing in promoting Vatican IPs mandate for "full, active, and conscious participation of the people. …

Iona est l'ile, au large de la cote occidentale de l'Ecosse, sur laquelle accosta saint Colomba, venant d'Irlande en 563, pour une mission de paix et d'evangelisation. Le culte dans la Communaute d'Iona, qui maintient l'equilibre entre la pertinence et la justice, le chant et la priere, l'exegese biblique et l'hermeneutique, se distingue en partie par son style distinctif. Le present article analyse des themes que l'on rencontre dans la liturgie et la musique d'Iona.

Southern Baptists too often function in relative isolation. (8) Finally, Jubilate is also a critical commentary on church music in the evangelical tradition. The criticism of (and appreciation for) this tradition is always appropriate and never pon­ tifical.

In it we see him at­ tempting with great courage and candor to be a truly biblical theologian, and for this he deserves our deepest appreciation—and, maybe, a rejoinder!
