Step it Down: Games, Plays, Songs and Stories from the Afro-American Heritage New edition
Bessie Jones
Growing up in the rural South, Bessie Jones sang her way through long hours of field work and child tending. These songs and games, recorded in Step It Down by folklorist Bess Lomax Hawes, capture the shape and colour of the crowded, impoverished, life-demanding, and life-loving days of the black family of sixty years ago.
