About This Item
Florida Humanities Council and the Florida Institute for Saltwater Heritage, Library of Congress American Folklife Center, nd. Square octavo, stapled photo. illus. self-wrappers, [34] pp. Illustrations throughout. Near Fine. Vanishing Culture: Images and Voices of Cortez Fishing Folk was a collaboration between maritime anthropologist Michael Jepson and artist/historian Wayne Nield to document the folklife of Cortez fishing village through oral history and photography. Funding was provided by the Florida Humanities Council and the Florid aInstitute for Saltwater Heritage. Additional support was received from the Library of Congress American Folklife Center through the donation of recording equipment. Recent threats to their occupation, community, and cultural heritage have challenged Cortesians’ unique sense of identity and faith, adding urgency to this project. The fishing folk are a traditional group in Florida, but, like so many others their voice is often unheard. Through documentation of both their voices and images the cultural significance of this group becomes obvious. Through oral history and photo archives, interpretive stations and mural, lecture series, and art exhibition of Vanishing Culture... provides a forum for others to hear the fishing folk of Cortez..
