Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'John Henry: Tracking Down a Negro Legend' is a seminal folkloric study that explores the historical and mythical roots of one of America's most enduring folk heroes. Guy B. Johnson undertakes a rigorous investigation into the origins of the John Henry ballad and the man behind the hammer, examining whether the legendary steel-driver was a real person or a composite of various figures from the late 19th-century railroad construction era. The work delves into the cultural significance of John Henry within African American history and American labor lore. By analyzing numerous versions of the ballad and interviewing individuals who claimed to have known the hero, Johnson provides a comprehensive look at how folk legends are formed and sustained across generations. The book serves as both a detective story and a sociological analysis, highlighting the intersection of work songs, racial identity, and industrial progress.Readers interested in folk music, Southern history, and the development of American mythology will find this text to be an invaluable resource.

This volume offers a comprehensive look at the spontaneous musical expressions found in the daily lives of Black laborers in the early 20th-century American South. Unlike stylized spirituals or commercial blues, the songs collected here-ranging from chain gang chants and construction rhythms to secular ballads and 'bad man' songs-provide an authentic window into the social psychology and creative spirit of a marginalized workforce.The work documents over 250 songs, categorizing them by theme and function while analyzing the cultural environment from which they emerged. By focusing on 'workaday' music, the authors capture the raw, unpolished reality of human experience through lyrics that reflect hardship, humor, resilience, and resistance. This collection remains an essential resource for those interested in ethnomusicology, sociology, and the rich heritage of African American oral traditions. It preserves a vital segment of American musical history, illustrating how song served as both a tool for labor and a medium for storytelling and emotional release.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
