About this product

Product Information

This addition to the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library completes Roger Abrahams's masterful survey of taletelling in the black world by showing the vital forms African stories took as they entered the New World. These 107 tales come from the canefields of the antebellum South, the villages of Caribbean islands, and the streets of contemporary Philadelphia. Throbbing with life, they range from earthy comedy (in recounting the scandalous doings of tricksters Rabbit and Fox) to inventive "just-so" stories explaining why the world is the way it is, to moral fables about encounters between masters and slaves, kings and servants, black and white. Together, they robustly demonstrate the ways an uprooted people have drawn from the traditions of their past to fashion a life -- and with it, a whole new and vital culture -- in the New World.

Reviews

Praise for African Folktales, the companion volume to Afro-American Folktales: "Another masterful addition and accessible introduction to the captured myths of what the Mede call 'God's Chiefdom'....Sweeping across the continent as swiftly as a pair of enchanted Togo sandals, the juxtaposition of tribes and pacing of story lengths make for lively reading:" Washington Post Book World "Earthy and comedic...a rousing good read....I suspect Mr. Abrahams' book will be read a generation hence."

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages. I’ll definitely make another purchase soon! Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
