Abstract

divergent disciplines such as social psychology, folklore, music, history, literature, jour- nalism, and linguistics. To scholars o f ethnic America and to Europeanists in general, this is a valuable contribution, marred here and there only by the authors' occasional display o f a rather rigid notion of "appropriate" history and o f the unquestioned sanctity o f something they call "facts." It makes their attack on "lay" historians for piety, naivete and weak assumptions (p. 70) reflect on themselves and denies them the ability to deal imaginatively with the work o f such historians. A companion piece to the Vardys' is August Molnar's account o f library, archival, and private holdings. Though much less self-consciously exhaustive in its coverage, it does not stand in the shadow o f the former paper. By contrast it is written by a collector and reveals the practical problems o f funding and acquisition. The material on which the paper rests is obviously not readily available to an ordinary bibliographically trained researcher. Within the folklore and folk art tradition, each contribution manages to expand exist- ing knowledge. With predictable competence, Degh deals with story tellers o f the past and the present and
