This title gathers together nearly 50 of the most important African American folktales. African American culture has long been recognized for its richness and breadth. Central to that tradition is a large body of folklore, which continues to figure prominently in literature, film, and popular culture. This book conveniently gathers and comments on nearly 50 African American folktales. Included are fictional tales, legends, myths, and personal experience narratives. These exemplify the vast diversity of African American culture and language. The tales are grouped in thematic sections on origins; heroes, heroines, villains, and fools; society and conflict; and the supernatural. Among the tales are: "How Jackal Became an Outcast"; "Clever Jack"; "The Signifying Monkey"; "Owl and Blacksnake"; "Courted by the Devil"; and, many more. Each tale is introduced by a brief headnote, and the volume closes with a selected, general bibliography.
