Great book to read about the common legends and history of the Hopi Indians ( ) All of the books in print about the Hopis have their benefits and flaws. This one is more reliable than Waters' *Book of the Hopi*, but its version of the Hopi creation story is not representative of most villages. Still, it is the single best source for Hopi history since the arrival of the Conquistadors. It was one of my primary sources for the chapter I wrote on the Hopis in *Water: Its Spiritual Significance* (Fons Vitae, 2010). Courlander 1908-1996. American novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist, an expert in the study of Haitian life. The author of 35 books and plays and numerous scholarly articles, Courlander specialized in the study of African, Caribbean, Afro-American (U.S.), and American Indian cultures. He took a special interest in oral literature, cults, and Afro-American cultural connections with Africa. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Here the noted folklorist brings together traditional accounts of epic events and adventures in the life of Hopi clans and villages, from legendary to historical times. The setting of these various adventures and events is not the Southwest as we know it today, but a vast and largely unpeopled wilderness in which clans and families wandered in search of a final living place, and in search of their collective identity. Notes, a pronunciation guide, and a glossary enhance the reader's appreciation of the text. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
