• W750596180 abstract "in America and Other Stories from the Field. By Claudia Gould. (Logan: Utah University State Press, 2009. Pp. 118, foreword/ afterword with bibliographies. $17.95 paper.)The phrase from the field normally refers to narratives collected during fieldwork, especially in books written by anthropologists and published by university presses. Instead, Claudia Gould's book is a work of prose fiction; an anthology of six short stories spanning most of the twentieth century in rural North Carolina. Each story is about a different member of a Protestant premillenial faith community, poised for an imminent End of Days. The book opens with Lee Haring's foreword, defining the work as ethnographic fiction. It closes with the author's afterword, in which her stories are contextualized in childhood memories and in later fieldwork with the same type of community. Whatever thoughts this book may stimulate, it will certainly challenge us to consider whether or not the term ethnographic is an oxymoron.Gould's six stories examine functions and dysfunctions of the regional belief system in convergence with a variety of social issues like gender, class, race, generational conflict, rites of passage, and crises of faith. The first five stories are prefaced by a quote from The New Testament, the sixth by a verse from the Protestant Hymnal Each preface is a reference to the spiritual and social conditions that come under scrutiny in each story. The first story, Jesus in America, is a representative example.In this tale, Jesus' presence in America is felt in the very presence of a Christian community - but the reader may also see in the person of the protagonist, a boy named Jesse, who learns in the local vernacular that his name is for Jesus. Jesse's story is prefaced by the quote: Wut ye not that I must be about my Father's business? (Luke 2:49); words spoken by the child without reference to Joseph's carpentry, but referring instead to the ministry of God. We follow the American Jesse through a childhood nurtured by church, school, and female relatives - but so deprived of fathering he must finally face that even when present, his derelict father will never be there for the family. With unanticipated precocity, Jesse stands to lead the congregation, praying for the assembly's ability to be faithful unto death, and for an End Time when the hearts of children and fathers will turn toward one another in peace and righteousness. His reliance on Isaiah, including a vivid reference to suckling at the breasts of God's consolation, raises his Pastor's eyebrow - but it is apparently this felt nurture that allows Jesse to move on, sharing the same paternal role-model as the other Jesse, and setting about the same Father's business.Haring's assurance that stories like these are comparable to the raw data of folklore is clearly inconsistent with the folkloristic view that literary fiction is a secondary source of folklore, more likely to reflect the spirit and mentality of the writer than of the community written about. …" @default.
