Acerca de esta escucha

In Mules and Men, some of the rich cultural heritage of black America is revealed and preserved. In the 1930s, Zora Neale Hurston returned to her home town of Eatonville, Florida, to collect and record the oral histories, songs, and sermons, many dating back to slavery times, that she remembered hearing as a child. These highly metaphorical folktales, "big old lies", and powerful songs helped her to recover her history, and preserve an important part of American culture.

The unique heritage of African-Americans, presented here with imagination, humor, and wisdom, has tremendous value for students of cultural history, as well as to anyone who loves a good story well told. This recording features Ruby Dee, a member of the Theatre Hall of Fame and actress in A Raisin in the Sun on Broadway and Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Ruby Dee's] narration of this seminal collection of black American folklore is nothing short of extraordinary....The stories are a treasure." (AudioFile)

Featured Article: Listens on the identity, history, and future of the American South


The history of the American South is a complicated one. The region is marked by resilience and cultural depth in the face of adversity. From mountain folk celebrating their communities in southern Appalachia to the chefs working tirelessly to honor the South’s traditional cuisine, the culture of the South is vibrant, diverse, and wholly its own. This list presents the multifaceted identity of the South with listens that get to its heart.

Brilliant

Zora Neale Hurston’s love of the folklore of people from African descent from the Deep South resonates throughout this collection of stories..

to hear Ruby Dee speak the words of the ancestors is truly a blessing. Capturing the faith and enduring spirit of the bountiful continent. Africa, the rich repository of wisdom.

Powerful, sacred text

It is such an honor to hear these stories, rituals, and histories told. I hope audible releases an unabridged version soon.

Wonderful!

This was wonderful! I didn’t want it to end. Ms. Hurston was as such an amazing storyteller. And Ruby brought it to life even more with her narration! I absolutely loved it. I will listen over and over.

I laughed and reminsced.

Would you listen to Mules and Men again? Why?

I'd listen to it again in order to remember some of those "lies".

Which scene was your favorite?

The origin of the word "um hmm."

Who was the most memorable character of Mules and Men and why?

Zora

Any additional comments?

Wish my father was alive to listen with me.
