The Fourth World of the Hopis by Harold Courlander
Here the noted folklorist brings together traditional accounts of epic events and adventures in the life of Hopi clans and villages, from legendary to historical times. The setting of these various adventures and events is not the Southwest as we know it today, but a vast and largely unpeopled wilderness in which clans and families wandered in search of a final living place, and in search of their collective identity. Notes, a pronunciation guide, and a glossary enhance the reader's appreciation of the text.
Harold Courlander (1908-96) was a noted novelist, folklorist and journalist, specializing in African and African American cultures. He wrote more than 40 books, including studies of Hopi traditions, the Ashanti of Ghana, Yoruba gods, and Haitian voodoo. Courlander charged Alex Haley, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Roots, with plagiarism and was awarded an out-of-court settlement.
