Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World
And don’t forget to check out our Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World 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.
For more information or to submit a proposal, contact associate editor Mary Heath.
The University Press of Mississippi is one of the leading folklore studies presses in the country.
