This well-loved copy of “Let the Rivers Clap Their Hands” by Martha Jordan offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of African American folklore and storytelling traditions. Published in the late 20th century, this collection of tales and anecdotes draws from the author’s own experiences growing up in the rural South, as well as the oral histories passed down through generations of Black communities. Jordan’s vivid prose breathes life into these narratives, capturing the resilience, humor, and wisdom that have sustained African Americans through centuries of adversity. While the book’s physical condition reflects its well-traveled journey, the stories within remain a timeless treasure, inviting readers to immerse themselves in a world where the rivers themselves seem to clap their hands in celebration of the human spirit. For collectors and literary enthusiasts alike, this volume offers a rare opportunity to engage with an essential voice in the rich tradition of African American storytelling.
