Reader's Guide to African Diaspora Folktales

I have an exciting announcement today: it's the (very preliminary) table of contents for my next book: A Reader's Guide to African Diaspora Folktales at the Internet Archive... along with folk songs and other folklore resources too! 

As in the previous book (free #OER!), A Reader's Guide to African Folktales at the Internet Archive, there will be 200 books with brief bibliography for each one, plus an anthology of 50 public domain stories.
