Living Black
Social Life in an African American Neighborhood
Mark S. Fleisher
“Fleisher's conclusion—that the poor black people of the North End were actually quite resilient, morally sound, and self-sufficient in the face of privation—goes against the common notion that American ghettos are broken places. As the author makes clear, what is in need of repair is the larger system that creates ghettos in the first place.”

Packy Jim
Folklore and Worldview on the Irish Border
Ray Cashman
“A brilliant testament to the ethnographer’s art, the deeply rooted wisdom of an ‘ordinary’ person, and the complex ways in which folklore figures in everyday life along the Irish border.”
—James P. Leary, author of Folksongs of Another America
