| Zusammenfassung: | In this text, Leah Payne traces the history & trajectory of Contemporary Christian Music in America &, in the process, shows how the industry, its artists, & its fans shaped - & continue to shape - conservative, (mostly) white, evangelical Protestantism. For many outside observers, evangelical pop stars, interpretive dancers, puppeteers, mimes, & bodybuilders are silly expressions of kitsch. Yet Payne argues that these cultural products were sources of power, meaning, & political activism. Throughout, she draws on in-depth interviews with CCM journalists, publishers, producers, & artists, as well as archives, sales & marketing data, fan magazines, merchandise - everything that went into making CCM a thriving subculture. Ultimately, Payne argues, CCM spurred evangelical activism in more potent & lasting ways than any particular doctrine, denomination, culture war, or legislative agenda had before. |
