Gullah Folktales From The Georgia Coast
Anyone in my age bracket remembers Uncle Remus because of the Disney film Song of the South (remember the song 'When I See an Elephant Fly'?). The Uncle Remus stories were collected from verbal traditions in Georgia after the Civil War by Joel Chandler Harris and became so popular that he enlisted the author of this book, Charles Colcock Jones Jr., to collect even more. Jones had owned slaves and openly supported slavery but he also wanted to preserve the history of the pre-civil war south. I can see why in the 20th century these stories were sometimes seen as demeaning to blacks. I'm not a scholar of folk traditions but I find them (such as De Po Man an de Snake, Chanticleer an de Ban-Yad Rooster) historically interesting and entertaining. They're written in the Gullah dialect which takes a little getting used to plus a glossary. How did a slave living on a barrier island in Georgia come up with a tale that sounds a lot like Chaucer?
