More about the book
Exploring the intersection of folklore and industrialization, Richard Dorson embarks on a quest to uncover traditional tales in the Calumet Region of northwest Indiana. He investigates whether folklore persists among the diverse communities of steelworkers, ethnic groups, and African Americans in cities like Gary, Whiting, East Chicago, and Hammond. Dorson's extensive experience as a folklorist enriches this examination of cultural narratives in an industrial landscape, challenging the notion of where and how folklore can thrive.
