Turner, Patricia A. I Heard it Through the Grapevine: Rumor in African-American Culture.
Berkeley: University of California Press, [1993].
Octavo, green cloth (hardcover), xvi, 260 pp. Fine (As New) in a Fine (As New) dust jacket. From jacket: ...Focuses on a strong tradition of rumors and legends that has served as a wellspring of continuity and resistance in communities long subjected to racism and exclusion...Ultimately, Turner finds that these traditions offer the African-American community a way for coping with and responding to a hostile dominant culture. As rumors are named and shared, blacks have developed a powerful mechanism for absorbing and sometimes surmounting racial oppression. I Heard It through the Grapevine brings to light, with clarity and force, an integral yet neglected facet of African-American culture. It is essential reading for anyone interested in African-American history and American culture.
