Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Louisiana at Lafayette, 2002.

The last third of the twentieth century was a time, like so many periods in history, of tremendous social and technological change. It was the era of integration in South Louisiana. Beginning in 1960, with the integration of New Orleans public schools, black and white children began exchanging play interactions on South Louisiana public school grounds. This is a study of a select body of African American schoolyard games and how they were shared, changed, preserved, or adapted into new play modes, as integration provided a new set of social interactions. The dissertation also shows that African American children's games functioned in many ways. They were a form of ephemeral artistic expression that conserved many elements from past folkloric verbal art presentations. At the same time African American children's folklore allowed for much individual innovation within certain boundaries of their culture's traditional strictures. African American children's play and verbal interactions had the function of (1) enabling them to fit into their social structure and (2) enabling them to assimilate, comment on, alter, or negotiate for themselves, aspects of their culture's folklore. The work begins with an overview of the history of children's folklore. Next it examines certain elements of boys' “matter”—“playing the dozens,” telling jokes in a mixed racial and gender setting, and entertaining and overseeing a community church's baby-sitting group. The third section concerns girls' “matter”—playing jump-rope rhymes, ring games, and preserving schoolyard play space. Finally, the dissertation considers the effects of the media on African American children's play in New Orleans and other cities of South Louisiana. This final section analyzes the influences entering play from television situation comedies, movies, videos, popular music, and the martial arts.
