Encyclopedia of Black Folklore and Humor Henry D. Spalding
Contains humorous articles, stories, and poems which characterize the life of the Black man in America since the time of slavery.
This well-rounded social history of the African-American demonstrates very graphically the close relationship between folklore and orthodox history. From the hundreds of humorous tales, anecdotes, biographies, recipes, musical selections, and historical notations included in this work, a pattern revealing a new, socially-minded black American unfolds. Through the encyclopedias seven sections--Long Night of Bondage, Plantation to Emancipation, Parables in Black, A People Sing, Poets Corner, Turn of the Century, and The New Breed--the African American emerges from a once confined and submerged plantation-type into a new heroic figure marching forward with pride.
