As you will discover in this personal account, great grandma can mean all those things and moretough, hardworking, faithful, and highly protective. This book is about a great grandmothers lifefrom her birth in remote Vaznikiai Village in Lithuania in 1891 to traveling to Baltimore under an assumed name in 1912, to marrying another immigrant from a different social economic class in 1914, to the difficult circumstances that she and her siblings faced in building new lives in the United States. Her story is probably very similar to immigrants from her day but has somehow been forgotten. Through old letters, interviews, and genealogical documents, Iewa Dobaites or Grandma Evas life is recalled and her legacy to her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren becomes clear.

American folklife is steeped in world cultures, or invented as new culture, always evolving, yet often practiced as it was created many years or even centuries ago. This fascinating encyclopedia explores the rich and varied cultural traditions of folklife in America - from barn raisings to the Internet, tattoos, and Zydeco - through expressions that include ritual, custom, crafts, architecture, food, clothing, and art. Featuring more than 350 A-Z entries, "Encyclopedia of American Folklife" is wide-ranging and inclusive. Entries cover major cities and urban centers; new and established immigrant groups as well as native Americans; American territories, such as Guam and Samoa; major issues, such as education and intellectual property; and expressions of material culture, such as homes, dress, food, and crafts. This encyclopedia covers notable folklife areas as well as general regional categories. It addresses religious groups (reflecting diversity within groups such as the Amish and the Jews), age groups (both old age and youth gangs), and contemporary folk groups (skateboarders and psychobillies) - placing all of them in the vivid tapestry of folklife in America. In addition, this resource offers useful insights on folklife concepts through entries such as "community and group" and "tradition and culture." The set also features complete indexes in each volume, as well as a bibliography for further research.
