The Caribbean Story Finder
The Caribbean islands have a vibrant oral folklore. In Jamaica, the clever spider Anansi, who outsmarts stronger animals, is a symbol of triumph by the weak over the powerful. The fables of the foolish Juan Bobo, who tries to bring milk home in a burlap bag, illustrate facets of traditional Puerto Rican life. Conflict over status, identity and power is a recurring theme--in a story from Trinidad, a young bull, raised by his mother in secret, challenges his tyrannical father who has killed all the other males in the herd. One in a series of folklore reference guides by the author, this volume shares summaries of 438 tales--some in danger of disappearing--retold in English and Creole from West African, European, and slave indigenous cultures in 24 countries and territories. Tales are grouped in themed sections with a detailed subject index and extensive links to online sources.
Articles About The Community Of Imam W. DEEN MOHAMMED
— Similar to the two previous volumes, this compilation helps to document and chronicle the transformation of the reformist, African–American, self–help organization originally known as the Nation of Islam. The articles herein provide a window or lens into the community that was propelled into a new growth by the language and logic of Imam W. Deen Mohammed. As noted in Volume II, the "community" of Imam Mohammed is not defined so much by geography or location, but by his distinctive perception and application of Islamic ideas and principles. In other words, Imam Mohammed's unique understanding and vision of al–Islam is what forms and binds his community. And it's precisely his interpretation and implementation of al–Islam that separates the community from all other Muslim communities. Therefore, you are invited to review some of the watershed events that have spurred the community's growth which I documented during the four years since the last volume. Of course, this is only a scratching of the surface, since I am only one person and couldn't attend many of the consequential events that should have been included.
