The Caribbean islands have a vibrant oral folklore. In Jamaica, the
clever spider Anansi, who outsmarts stronger animals, is a symbol
of triumph by the weak over the powerful. The fables of the foolish
Juan Bobo, who tries to bring milk home in a burlap bag, illustrate
facets of traditional Puerto Rican life. Conflict over status,
identity and power is a recurring theme-in a story from Trinidad, a
young bull, raised by his mother in secret, challenges his
tyrannical father who has killed all the other males in the herd.
One in a series of folklore reference guides by the author, this
volume shares summaries of 438 tales-some in danger of
disappearing-retold in English and Creole from West African,
European, and slave indigenous cultures in 24 countries and
territories. Tales are grouped in themed sections with a detailed
subject index and extensive links to online sources.
