Listen to the artists of the Brazilian Northeast. Their work, they say, comes of continuity and creativity. Continuity runs along lines of learning toward social coherence. Creativity brings challenges and deep personal satisfaction.
What they say and do in Brazil aligns with ethnographic evidence from New Mexico and North Carolina; from Ireland, Portugal, and Italy; from Nigeria, Turkey, India, and Bangladesh; from China and Japan.
This book is about that, about folk art as a sign of human unity.

HENRY GLASSIE, College Professor Emeritus at Indiana University, received the Haskins Prize of the American Council of Learned Societies for a distinguished career of humanistic scholarship. Three of his books—Passing the Time in Ballymenone, The Spirit of Folk Art, and Turkish Traditional Art Today—were named among the notable books of the year by the New York Times. The film by Pat Collins, Henry Glassie: Field Work, was named the best Irish documentary of the year in 2020. PRAVINA SHUKLA, Provost Professor and currently Chair of the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at Indiana University, has won six teaching awards including the President's Award for Distinguished Teaching.
