FOLKLORISTICS An Introduction
Indiana University Press. Near Fine. 1995. First Edition. Softcover. 9780253209948 . Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 352 pages; ""Folkloristics" .will stand among the best folklore books ever written.it is unequalled in the number and detail of the illustrative examples it presents. The book indeed is a veritable summary of the types of folkloric studies found in American journals and books in this century." - Carl Lindahl "Folkloristics" is the most complete and up-to-date study of folklore and folklore methodologies. Two noted folklore scholars outline four perspectives that researchers employ to conceptualize document and study the phenomena that we consider 'folklore': folklore as artifact describable and diffusible entity culture and behavior. The opening chapter describes the pervasiveness of folklore in everyday life including its uses in literature films television cartoons comic strips and advertising. Subsequent chapters characterize and illustrate in detail the four perspectives used in folklore research and the authors conclude by demonstrating the interrelatedness of the perspectives. Each chapter has five components: a characterization of the field of folkloristics or of a perspective used in studying folklore; examples definitions and quotations presented within boxes and embedded in the text at specific points; illustrations from or related to published works characterized; concluding statements that summarize principal points made in the chapter; and endnotes. "Folkloristics" employs a variety of folklore examples such as myths legends ballads jokes riddles traditional foods festivals and healing ceremonies - over 400 examples illustrating some 45 expressive forms and processes. These come from diverse peoples in the U. S. And other countries 47 national tribal and ethnic groups. The cultures represented include those of Native Americans e. G. Zuni Winnebago Hopi African Americans Mexican Americans Japanese Americans Vietnamese Filipinos Tongans Finns the English Russians Peruvians Costa Ricans the Mende of Sierra Leone and the Choke of Zaire as well as the cultures of occupational groups religious communities children women and gay men. 645 .

DARK MATTER Reading the Bones Speculative Fiction from the African Diaspora
Aspect. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2004. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0446528609 . VG. Book is actually new but has light shelfwear to jacket involving scuffing of jacket & light edge wear. Small remainder mark across upper edge. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 416 pages; "In an excellent idiosyncratic collection of sf fantasy and folktale-derived fiction by African American including Caribbean writers the quality of writing is uniformly high and the contributors constitute practically a who's who of African American writers who have dealt in speculative fiction beginning with W. E. B. DuBois represented by a piece dating from 1920. Samuel Delany Nalo Hopkinson Tananarive Due and Walter Mosley also appear and the tone of most of the stories even "Anansi Meets Peter Parker at the Taco Bell on Lexington" is serious and even desperate. One compensation for that tone is that Mosley seems much more at home in short sf and fantasy than he is at novel length as in Blue Light 1998. But writing of this quality speaks eloquently for itself and so do such surprises as Carol Cooper's panegyric to the consciousness-raising influence of Andre Norton one of three essays at the end of the volume.
