The film interrogates this event as a piece of forgotten history and prompts critical reflection on why this history was lost while also raising important questions related to archival preservation and cultural memory. Combining five different perspectives, this book acts both as an intensive scholarly treatment and as a pedagogical guide for how to analyze, theorize, and contextualize a documentary. Together, the essays in this book touch upon key topics related to the study of popular music, musical performance, and audiences; the discovery and reuse of archives and archival documents; and Black studies and America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction: Constituting a Congregation in\/through \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSummer of Soul\u003c\/b\u003e Jaimie Baron \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eSummer of Soul:\u003c\/i\u003e The Angel of History Comes to Harlem\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eCatherine Russell\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e2.
