Caribbean Folklore: A Handbook

This books sets about the challenging task of surveying and sampling the diverse approaches and subjects of the study of the myriad cultures of the Caribbean. It is not, nor does it claim to be, a comprehensive guide to the topic. Rather, the book is an entry point into the study of Caribbean folklore, providing an overview of different areas of research (music, dance, religion, myth, foodways, etc.) and a look at the different scholarly approaches employed in this work. In addition describing the areas of research, the book provides extensive and well‐researched bibliographies for each chapter.
