Joyner has the lead article In the latest edition of Southern Humanities Review. This quarterly pub lished at Auburn University, features “Southern Folklore as a Key to Southern Identity.” Folksongs and other sources of Southern folklore reveal that racial integration on the “folk level of human communication’' has been taking place for 300 years, reports Charles W. Joyner, St. Andrews Presby terian College history pro fessor, In the Southern Humanities Review. Prof. Joyner traces the paths and patterns of Southern folklore from Its beginnings In the 17th century to the present day. He Indicates that Southern folklore began when “thrown together In a fierce land, folk from West Africa and from the CHARLES W. JOYNER British Isles merged their tunes, tales and styles.” Be cause the Negro was deliber ately separated from other members of his tribe shortly after his arrival in America, the Influence of his African cul ture was lost as his folklore developed. It became American and was strongly influenced by European traditions. The well-known Brer Rabbit, for example, descended from German and French folklore. Prof. Joyner reports. He also traces the source for the famed John Henry, “that steel-drlvin’ man,” to show that the ballad was a joint product of Negro and white singers. “Its con tent is the legend of the brave black man who died with his hammer in his hand,but its tune is rooted In a Scottish melody, and Its devices are those of Medieval English and Scottish balladry,” Prof. Joyner writes. The St. Andrews scholar, a native of South Carolina, has collected folksongs firsthand with a tape recorder from sev eral Southern regions. Prof. Joyner claims that Southern Spirituals also com bine elements of two racial groups. “Comparison of black and white Spirituals reveals many exchanges of melody, rhythm, and lyric,” he states. He also traces the development and Influence of blues songs, minstrel songs, and jazz to reinforce the evidence of inter relationships. “Social, economic and racial barriers that separated Southerners were bypassed by music and converted Into positive forces of mutual ap preciation,” Prof. Joyner re ports. In his concluding para graph, he states “this mixing of cultural heritage is more responsible than any other single factor for the extra ordinary richness of the Southern folk heritage.”
