A series dedicated to the first books of folklore scholars and emphasizing the interdisciplinary and international nature of current folklore scholarship. Volumes can highlight several aspects of folklore studies, including art; foodways; music; popular culture; race and ethnicity; and women’s, gender and sexuality studies.
Previously funded by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the series began as a collaborative venture of University Press of Mississippi, University of Illinois Press, and University of Wisconsin Press, in conjunction with the American Folklore Society.
