"Mules and Men" is a treasury of black America's folklore as
collected by a famous storyteller and anthropologist who grew up
hearing the songs and sermons, sayings and tall tales that have
formed an oral history of the South since the time of slavery.
Returning to her hometown of Eatonville, Florida, to gather
material, Zora Neale Hurston recalls "a hilarious night with a
pinch of everything social mixed with the storytelling." Set
intimately within the social context of black life, the stories,
"big old lies," songs, Vodou customs, and superstitions recorded in
these pages capture the imagination and bring back to life the
humor and wisdom that is the unique heritage of African
Americans.
