This review is from: We Gather Together: Food Festival in American Life (American material culture and folklife) (Hardcover)

I read this book, when it was first published. I found it interesting and factual. Researched very good. The book includes personal experiences of the authors, who are teachers in the San Gabriel Valley of California. I found it especially interesting as I was taking folklore at the time in college. I found the New Year's Hoppin' John tradition delightful, as I had been invited to join a family from the South. I would recommend the book to anyone who is interested in the folklore and ways of America.
