Reflections on the Folklife Festival: An Ethnography of Participant Experience

by Richard Bauman, Patricia Sawin, Inta G. Carpenter

Book Overview

This first ethnographic study of a folklife festival focuses on festival participants--the dancers, musicians, storytellers, and artisans at a public display of folk culture. These essays investigate the contention by supporters of these events that this form of folkloric representation is as intellectually legitimate as scholarly research.
