Book Synopsis South Florida Folklife by : Tina Bucuvalas
Download or read book South Florida Folklife written by Tina Bucuvalas. This book was released on 1994. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Florida summons tropical vacationland images - gleaming beaches, exotic foods, colorful costumes, and grand hotels. Yet beyond this facade teems a rich folklife that is the subject of this appealing book. Seminoles, Conchs, Crackers, Cubans, and vacationers themselves contribute the cultural ingredients: language, music, dance, foodways, customs, beliefs, and oral traditions. Blended with the palms, Miami skyscrapers, and Everglades vegetation, these traditions meld into a spicy regional flavor influenced by changing demographics and a nomadic, seasonal population.
