Hansel and Gretel
Hansel and Gretel were siblings and great friends who love adventures--and sweets--just as much as any kid you know. So, when they stumbled upon a scrumptious-looking house in the woods, they listened to their tummies rather than their smart minds. The witch who made the house knew that little children love sweets--but she'd forgotten that lost children can be very clever and very brave.

Staging the Blues: From Tent Shows to Tourism
After a brief, but requisite, historical summary of African-American theater, McGinley sets the stage for her analysis by focusing on the careers of blues pioneers Ma Rainey (1886-1939) and Bessie Smith (1894-1937), performers whose public personae, staging, and musical styles were largely defined through purposeful theatrical constructions. While simultaneously embodying Lomax's newly envisioned folk-blues tradition through these constructed presentations, Ledbetter's insistence on including elements of dance, comedy and other vaudeville conventions in his act served not only to protest his unequal power relations with Lomax, but also contributed to the maintenance and transmission of earlier theatrical traditions-practices acquired through Ledbetter's prior stage experience-as an essential element of blues performance style. By presenting particular performers and specific situations, McGinley provides her readers with persuasive anecdotes, building an inductive claim that the blues' generative theatrical traditions persevered even during those historic periods when it had faded as a popular music style and became viewed as a folk tradition.

Isabella McBride — Traditional Singer
Towards the end of her life, Isabella McBride recorded a selection of folk songs learned in childhood, together with reminiscences of the way in which the songs had been learned. While she occasionally sang the songs in intimate domestic settings, she had not sung them on social occasions for several decades. This paper explores the reasons for this in the broader context of cultural traditions, 'ownership', and identity in Northern Ireland.

Empowering Self, Making Choices, Creating Spaces: Black Female Identity via Rap Music Performance
Critics and scholars have often associated rap music with urban male culture. However, females have been involved in the history of this music since its early years. This article explores Black women’s contribution to and role in shaping rap music. In examining female rappers, this study engages an interdisciplinary model that employs cultural studies, feminist theory, and mass mediation theory of popular culture, and it employs an ethnographic concept, the \"interpretive community,\" in its analysis.
