Keepers of tradition : art and folk heritage in Massachusetts
"Throughout Massachusetts, artists carry on deeply rooted traditions that take many expressive forms. Keepers of Tradition: Art and Folk Heritage in Massachusetts celebrates the crafts, music, dance, and sacred arts that have been passed down both within long-settled and new immigrant communities." "Keepers of Tradition presents material drawn from eight years of field research by folklorists at the Massachusetts Cultural Council - an investigation that has taken researchers into the kitchens, workshops, dance halls, places of worship, parade routes, and festival sites where traditional art is produced, used, valued, and displayed."--Jacket
