Negro Folk Rhymes: Wise And Otherwise With A Study

By Thomas Washington Talley

Book Overview

Negro Folk Rhymes: Wise And Otherwise is a book that presents a collection of traditional African American folk rhymes, songs, and chants. The book includes a study by Thomas W. Talley, a scholar of African American folklore, who provides historical and cultural context for the rhymes. The rhymes themselves cover a range of topics, including work, love, religion, and social commentary. Some of the rhymes are humorous or playful, while others are more serious and reflective. The book offers insight into the rich cultural heritage of African American communities and the ways in which they have expressed themselves through oral traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
