  • Ruben Dario as a Focal Cultural Figure in Nicaragua

    Open AccessDavid E WhisnantARTICLELatin American Research Review1992Cited by: 1References: 5

    Most of the critical commentary on Nicaraguan poet Rubén Dario has been called forth and shaped by his being a seminal pan-Latin American and an international literary figure. Less known is the fact that for more than a century, Darío has been the focus of a much contested discourse concerning national cultural identity within Nicaragua itself.

  • Minstrel of the Appalachians

    David E Whisnant, Loyal JonesARTICLEJournal of American Folklore1986

    It is said that Bascom Lamar would cross hell on a rotten rail to get a folk song -- his Southern highlands folk-song compilations now constitute one of the largest collections of its kind in the Library of Congress -- but he did much more than acquire songs. He preserved and promoted the Appalachian mountain tradition for generations of people, founding in 1928 the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival in Asheville, North Carolina, an annual event th…
