African American Folktales
African American Folktales is like a fox reading for everyone. When you dig into the substance you will ask “who is being tricked”. The actor or the receiver. This book is highly rated as Dr Henry Louis Gates Jr. of Harvard University considers author Roger D Abrahams as very qualified in this area of study. In as much as the attention is on black culture, there is much to apply to many others. So these folktales are basically tricks. And as we very well know tricks are done in various settings all over the world. For example we see them perform at circus , on elaborate stage and elsewhere. Since many folktales can have more than one meaning, their result may vary. Also some may appear trivial to some , yet to others very important even painful.
