AMERICAN FOLKLORE SOCIETY
Founded in 1888, the American Folklore Society is the
American learned and professional society for folklorists. It
offers an intellectual and social forum for the field of
folklore through an annual meeting, publications, specialized
activities of interest-group sections, various prizes and awards,
and other services to its membership.
The JOURNAL OF AMERICAN FOLKLORE is a lively forum for
recent work in this field. Recent issues have treated such
topics as Gospel quartets, the Greenwich Village Halloween
Parade, the zombi, cowboy poetry gatherings, Latinismo and
heritage politics, nocturnal death syndrome among the Hmong,
folklore in Richard Wright's "Black Boy", and reviews of a wide
range of books, exhibitions, films, and records.
The Annual Meeting will be held October 15-18, 1992 in
Jacksonville, Florida. The call for papers will appear in the
February Newsletter.
