Folktales of Newfoundland (RLE Folklore)
Author: Herbert HalpertPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317551494
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1276
Book Description
This collection of Newfoundland folk narratives, first published in 1996, grew out of extensive fieldwork in folk culture in the province. The intention was to collect as broad a spectrum of traditional material as possible, and Folktales of Newfoundland is notable not only for the number and quality of its narratives, but also for the format in which they are presented. A special transcription system conveys to the reader the accents and rhythms of each performance, and the endnote to each tale features an analysis of the narrator’s language. In addition, Newfoundland has preserved many aspects of English and Irish folk tradition, some of which are no longer active in the countries of their origin. Working from the premise that traditions virtually unknown in England might still survive in active form in Newfoundland, the researchers set out to discover if this was in fact the case.

Book Description
Jamaica is the melting pot of the Caribbean with cultures of Africans, Europeans, East Indians, Chinese, Arabs, Jews, and Persians living by their nation's motto, "Out of Many, One People."Storytelling in Jamaican culture is handed down through the oral tradition of "Animal" stories and links itself to African-American tales of Uncle Remus. Their folklore and literature thrives in the stories of Anancy which are preserved in the pages of many children's storybooks.I have compiled history and mythology stories of Anancy, Big Bwoy & Likkle Bwoy, proverbs, phrases and their meanings with a Patios/Rasta Dictionary. I also include some traditional foods and recipes of Jamaica.By weaving the oral history, culture and foods of the Caribbean Islands together in one book you can also taste this bit of heaven for yourself. You too can say "Ya Mon, Me Hear Jamaica Talkin'" just like I did when I traveled to Jamaica.
