Americans abroad : Mormon missionaries and foreign folklore / Elizabeth Pew, 2003
Scope and Contents note
Identifies the following as reasons missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints adopt foreign culture folklore: aesthetic quality, to remind them of the people and culture they served among, to explain the culture to friends and family at home, to become more accepted members of the group among whom they serve, and as a social connection to other missionaries they served with. Explains that foreign folklore may be adopted by using the food of a culture, displaying souvenirs, making trips to visit the area, giving humanitarian aid to help the area, studying the language and culture of the area, incorporating customs of that culture into their own lives, etc. Includes photos. Created by Elizabeth Pew while she was enrolled in Jill Terry Rudy's English 392 class during Fall Semester 2003.
