On Shifting Ground: Migration, Disruption, and the Changing Contours of Home
“Folklore and other traditional expressive forms offer tools, strategies, and resources for both responding to and catalyzing change. Whether adapting traditional expressive behavior to meet new circumstances during and after migration or asserting them to challenge the status quo, people productively leverage the durability and dynamic nature of culture to strengthen community life through changes of many sorts—whether political, social, environmental, or cultural.” –Guest Editors Michelle Banks and Sojin Kim
