Deep Down in the Jungle: Negro Narrative Folklore from the Streets of Philadelphia

by Roger D. Abrahams

Book Overview

With the growth of interest in folklore, it becomes increasingly evident that the presentation of a collection needs some rationale more than the fact that traditional materials have been collected and annotated. This work represents an attempt to present a body of folklore collected among one small group of Black Americans in South Philadelphia.
