Description

Seven folklorists demonstrate how Americans use distinctively American wild animals to express national attitudes about such crucial matters as politics, race, gender, sex, and danger.

The seven folklorists in this volume examine the symbolic use of one animal (turkey, rattlesnake, alligator, armadillo, bear, fox, or coyote), drawing on sources from Chaucer to early colonial texts.
