  • "A collection of African-American folklore, oral histories, sermons, and songs, dating back to the time of slavery."@en
  • "Mules and Men is a treasury of black America's folklore as collected by a famous storyteller and anthropologist who grew up hearing the songs and sermons, sayings and tall tales that have formed an oral history of the South since the time of slavery. Returning to her hometown of Eatonville, Florida, to gather material, Zora Neale Hurston recalls "a hilarious night with a pinch of everything social mixed with the storytelling." Set intimately within the social context of black life, the stories, "big old lies," songs, Vodou customs, and superstitions recorded in these pages capture the imagination and bring back to life the humor and wisdom that is the unique heritage of African Americans."@en
  • "Hurston recounts her experiences collecting African-American folklore and offers some seventy folk tales and a series of hoodoo rituals."@en
