   • 1998, “Soul's Revival”, in Monique Guillory, Richard C. Green, editors, Soul: Black Power, Politics, and Pleasure, NYU Press, →ISBN, page 156:

     One of the dangers of “white soul” that revives black music traditions outside of their original cultural context is that the cultural past may be resurrected not to be celebrated or reworked, but to be replaced by new narratives that enshrine white experience and benefit white musicians.

2. Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see white,‎ soul.
