Folklife Collection - Absences and False Assumptions: Discovering a Grandparent's World
by Salisbury University Students (1991)
1 folder (0.1 linear feet)
In 1991, former Salisbury University Student Justin Ward collected folk material. For this project, he wanted to conduct a survey on the attitudes and values of the folk group who grew up during or just after the Great Depression regarding racism, sexism, religious intolerance and more. His main informants were his grandparents who were both descendants of a migrant family. To his surprise, Justin realized that his grandparents did not seem to have observed nor experienced any of these problems. He concluded from these interviews that his grandparents may not have have picked up these beliefs. Tapes enclosed.
