Born in a Mighty Bad Land
By: Bryant, Jerry H.
Published by: Indiana University Press

The figure of the violent man in the African American imagination has a long history. He can be found in 19th-century bad man ballads like 'Stagolee' and 'John Hardy,' as well as in the black convict recitations that influenced 'gansta' rap. Born in a Mighty Bad Land connects this figure with similar characters in African American fiction. more...

Celtic Fairy Tales
By: Jacobs, Joseph (ed.)
Published by: The Floating Press

The success of a fairy book, I am convinced, depends on the due admixture of the comic and the romantic: Grimm and Asbjörnsen knew this secret, and they alone. But the Celtic peasant who speaks Gaelic takes the pleasure of telling tales somewhat sadly: so far as he has been printed and translated, I found him, to my surprise, conspicuously lacking in humour. For the comic relief of this volume I have therefore had to turn mainly to the Irish peasant of the Pale; and what richer... more...

Children's Folklore
By: Sutton-Smith, Brian (ed.)
Published by: Utah State University Press

A collection of original essays by scholars from a variety of fields--including American studies, folklore, anthropology, psychology, sociology, and education. Children's Folklore moves beyond traditional social-science views of child development. It reveals the complexity and artistry of interactions among children, challenging stereotypes of simple childhood innocence and conventional explanations of development that privilege sober and sensible adult outcomes. Instead, the play and lore of children is shown to be often disruptive, wayward, and irrational. more...
