I regret to report that the folkways of my native state continue to resist the injunctions of civics textbooks. Most of the once-traditional props of Jewish peoplehood in this country--large immigrant populations, neighborhoods, Yiddish-inflected folkways, a distinctive cuisine--have faded from the scene. Particularly pressing is her compilation of Afro-Cuban lore, El monte: igbo finda, ewe orisha, vititi nfinda (1954), a compendium of religious practice, gods, folkways, and ethnobotany, and a key text (perhaps the key text) in the santeria canon. |
