As any well-organized, carefully annotated bibliography does, this
work by Southern and Wright brings order out of chaos. The 2,328
entries identify books, articles, sermons, pamphlets, and
broadsides, among other formats, all centered on black folk culture
with emphasis on the manifestations of that culture from 1600 to
1920 through song, dance, games, sermons, and illustrations. . . .
This carefully done and useful bibliography is recommended for
libraries on all campuses where there is an interest in the black
experience. Choice African-American Traditions in Song, Sermon,
Tale, and Dance is undeniably the most valuable resource available
to scholars engaged in Afro-American folk culture research. An
untapped wealth of primary information has been chronologically
cataloged within this comprehensive, annotated guide. It covers a
period of over 300 years of African-American cultural history in
the United States. Materials fall into three categories: literary
publications, iconographical records, and collections of song,
tale, and sermon texts. Focusing on folk culture, 2,328 items were
chosen for their historical relevance as well as to insure broad
representation. Eileen Southern and Josephine Wright's bibliography
provides researchers with the tools needed to shatter myths and
stereotypes and to form concise theses supported by extensive
evidence. The bibliography is divided into four major chronological
sections: Colonial-Federalist, Antebellum, Post-Emancipation, and
Early Twentieth Century. A fifth section, The WPA Slave Narrative
Collection, includes materials (collected in the 1930s) that are
essential to a serious discussion of American slavery. Within these
five sections materials are classified as literature, artwork,
and/or collections. Literature and artwork subsections are further
divided into social activities, religious experience, song, and
tale. Iconographical entries often compliment the literary ones and
some themes run throughout the book. The materials are indexed by
names of authors and artists, by subject, and by first lines of
songs.
