Black Vernacular Tradition and Folklore
The word “vernacular” is a term often used in discussions about African American cultural heritage and tradition to refer to various expressions that are not exclusively literary, written or published. It refers to forms such a sacred songs, prayers and sermons, work songs, secular rhymes and songs, blues, jazz, and narrative stories of different kinds. It also includes dances, wordless musical performances, stage shows, and visual art forms. By including “the vernacular” in a discussion of African American literature, critics like Henry Louis Gates, Jr. and Nelly McKay stress the importance of these forms to better understanding of the African American literature, tradition, history, and heritage. Although there are many literary expressions as part of the vernacular tradition, a stagolee is the impulse that can be seen in every aspect of African American culture.
