| Summary: | Annotation Juneteenth Texas explores African-American folkways and traditions from both African-American and white perspectives. Included are descriptions and classifications of different aspects of African-American folk culture in Texas; explorations of songs and stories and specific performers such as Lightnin' Hopkins, Manse Lipscomb, and Bongo Joe; and a section giving resources for the further study of African Americans in Texas." T]he editors have contributed significantly to making our past relevant to our present in Juneteenth Texas, a collection of essays that explore African-American folkways and traditions. Drawing upon the expertise of folklorists, musicologists, filmmakers, historians, anthropologists and just plain folks ... the objective is to use the prism of African-American folklore to enlighten all Americans about our common culture. ... So evocative is the writing on musical folklore, one longs for a companion CD to add even more vitality to ... an excellent text."--Dallas Morning News "This volume on black Texas folklore is a fresh and fascinating contribution to African American history."-Journal of Southern History
