{"product_id":"folklore-kenneth-l-untiedt-9781574412239","title":"Folklore: In All of Us, in All We Do","description":"Folklore is everywhere, whether you are aware of it or not. A culture's traditional knowledge is used to remember the past and maintain traditions, to communicate with other members within a community, to learn, to celebrate, and to express creativity. It is what helps distinguish one culture from another. Although folklore is so much a part of our daily lives, we often lose sight of just how integral it is to everything we do. If we look for it, we can find folklore in places where we'd never think it existed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFolklore: \u003ci\u003eIn\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAll of Us, In All We \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eDo\u003c\/i\u003e includes articles on a variety of topics. One chapter looks at how folklore and history complement one another; while historical records provide facts about dates, places and names, folklore brings those events and people to life by making them relevant to us. Several articles examine the cultural roles women fill. Other articles feature folklore of particular groups, including oil field workers, mail carriers, doctors, engineers, police officers, horse traders, and politicians. As a follow-up article to \u003ci\u003eInside the Classroom (and Out)\u003c\/i\u003e, which focused on folklore in education, there is also an article on how teachers can use writing in the classroom as a means of keeping alive the storytelling tradition. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Texas Folklore Society has been collecting and preserving folklore since its first publication in 1912. Since then, it has published or assisted in the publication of nearly one hundred books on Texas folklore.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenneth L.
