[[Zora Neale Hurston]] performed anthropological and sociological studies examining the spread of Pentecostalism, published posthumously in a collection of essays called ''The Sanctified Church''.<ref name="Hurston">Hurston, Zora Neale. ''The Sanctified Church'' (Berkeley, CA: Turtle Island, 1983).</ref> According to scholar of religion Ashon Crawley, Hurston's analysis is important because she understood the class struggle that this seemingly new religiocultural movement articulated: "The Sanctified Church is a protest against the high-brow tendency in Negro Protestant congregations as the Negroes gain more education and wealth."<ref name="Hurston" /> She stated that this sect was "a revitalizing element in Negro music and religion" and that this collection of groups was "putting back into Negro religion those elements which were brought over from Africa and grafted onto Christianity." Crawley would go on to argue that the shouting that Hurston documented was evidence of what Martinique psychoanalyst [[Frantz Fanon]] called the refusal of positionality wherein "no strategic position is given preference" as the creation of, the grounds for, social form.<ref>Crawley, Ashon T. 2017.
