Thread Name: Accessing JSTOR site - free??
Subject: RE: Accessing JSTOR site
Joe, some other American folklore sites available with JSTOR JAFL subscription, but no furrin.

I find current articles in JAFL too technical.
If you join, download like crazy for a year and quit. I am about to drop out.

I have 2-3 years of the JAFL, I find little to interest me except reviews of new publications and/or CDs.

Last issue, Summer 2010:
Leonard Roberts, The Farmer Lewis Muncy Family and the Magic Circle of the Mountain Marchen.
Kita and Kosmos: The Poetics of Ornamentation in Bosniac and Homeric Epic.
......Competing Therapeutic Goals ........rural Zimbabwe.

Sound-
Croatian Traditional Music Recordings 1990s and 2000s
Video-
A Journey through the Blues: The Son Seals Story.
Exhibit-
Weavings of War.
Books-
Masks and Mumming in the Nordic Area.
etc.

Books worth looking at-
Ruth Crawfoerd Seeger's Worlds
Escaping the Delta: Robert Johnson and the Invention of the Blues.
Urban Legends: International
Alan Lomax: Selected Writings
Polkabilly (Goose Island Ramblers)
El Narcotraficante: Narcocorridos.........U. S. Mexican Border

There should be another way to find folk books.
