{"product_id":"folklife-glenn-hinson-9780807859896","title":"Folklife","description":"Southern folklife is the heart of southern culture. Looking at traditional practices still carried on today as well as at aspects of folklife that are dynamic and emergent, contributors to this volume of \u003ci\u003eThe New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture\u003c\/i\u003e examine a broad range of folk traditions. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoving beyond the traditional view of folklore that situates it in historical practice and narrowly defined genres, entries in this volume demonstrate how folklife remains a vital part of communities' self-definitions. Fifty thematic entries address subjects such as car culture, funerals, hip-hop, and powwows. In 56 topical entries, contributors focus on more specific elements of folklife, such as roadside memorials, collegiate stepping, \u003ci\u003equinceanera\u003c\/i\u003e celebrations, New Orleans marching bands, and hunting dogs. Together, the entries demonstrate that southern folklife is dynamically alive and everywhere around us, giving meaning to the everyday unfolding of community life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Glenn Hinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807859893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807859896\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.30w x 1.02d","brand":"Glenn Hinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926314516735,"sku":"9780807859896","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_7088fe35-66c4-42d0-8bfe-82ad3cf571c9.jpg?v=1681082382","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/folklife-glenn-hinson-9780807859896","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
