As a component of the Scientific Survey of Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands, Boas intended to perform field research in the areas of anthropology and ethnography there while other scientists explored the island's natural resources. Native Puerto Rican cultural practices were also heavily explored through documentation of the island's oral folklore. A young anthropologist working under Boas, John Alden Mason, rescued hundreds of oral folklore samples, ranging from popular songs, poetry, conundrums, sayings, and, most particularly, folktales. Through extensive excursions, Mason came in touch with the rural practices of Puerto Rican peasants, the Jibaros, who served as both his cultural informants and writers of the folklore samples. These stories, many of which are still part of the island's literary traditions, reflect a strong Puerto Rican identity coalescing in the face of the U.S. political intervention on the island. A fascinating slice of Puerto Rican history and culture sure to delight any reader!"-- $c Provided by publisher 600 10 $a Boas, Franz, $d 1858-1942 $x Travel $z Puerto Rico. 600 10 $a Mason, John Alden, $d 1885-1967 $x Travel $z Puerto Rico. 600 17 $a Boas, Franz, $d 1858-1942. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00053322 600 17 $a Mason, John Alden, $d 1885-1967. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00019022 650 0 $a Folklore $x History. $z Puerto Rico $x History. 650 0 $a Ethnology $z Puerto Rico $x History. 650 0 $a Oral tradition $z Puerto Rico. 650 0 $a National characteristics, Puerto Rican. 650 0 $a Puerto Ricans $x Ethnic identity. 651 0 $a Puerto Rico $x Race relations. 651 0 $a Puerto Rico $x Social life and customs. 651 0 $a Puerto Rico $x Relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Relations $z Puerto Rico. 650 7 $a HISTORY $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Ethnology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916106 650 7 $a Folklore $x Study and teaching. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00930348 650 7 $a International relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977053 650 7 $a Manners and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01007815 650 7 $a National characteristics, Puerto Rican. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033499 650 7 $a Oral tradition. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01047117 650 7 $a Puerto Ricans $x Ethnic identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01083723 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Puerto Rico. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205432 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Critical Caribbean studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011532.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1E72E846BFA611ECA5AD8FDE3CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
