New York Folklore Journal Vol. 12, Nos. 1-2

From NEW YORK FOLKLORE (Vol. 12, Nos. 1-2):
"Folklorists and anthropologists have been pained witnesses to the declining quality of traditional arts, and the exploitative treatment of traditional artists, in many areas of the world, resulting from skyrocketing demand for "primitive art" among the industrial nations and the efforts of commercial marketing interests to cash in on that demand."
— (from the Editor's Preface of the special New York Folklore issue, Marketing Folk Art)
