Author: Neustadt, Katherine D.
Condition: New
An appreciative examination of the New England clambake, Neustadt divides her study into three parts: historical (social, economic, political, regional, and cultural) influences on the clambake; a close focus on the Allen's Neck clambake as a cultural phenomena in its own right; and a critical examination of the central elements of the clambaking traditionfood, ritual, and festival.The author views the clambake as a unique American folk tradition with interesting connections and rich resonances with other aspects of American culture and history.
