Mules and Men (08 Edition)by Zora Neale Hurston
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments: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.
About the AuthorZora Neale Hurston was born in Notasulga, Alabama, in 1891, and died in 1960. The Six Fools, Lies and Other Tall Tales, The Skull Talks Back, and What's the Hurry, Fox? introduce her legacy as a storyteller and cultural anthropologist to young people.
