About This Book

A wide-ranging collection gathers myths and legends from the United States' Caribbean and Pacific possessions and protectorate, organizing regional folktales about enchanted floating islands, floods and deluges, mer-people, haunted churches, witches and obeah, buccaneers and ghost ships, Hawaiian gods and volcano myths, origin stories and animal fables, Filipino creation and conversion tales, and episodes of colonial contact and suppression of magic. Each section juxtaposes traditional cosmologies, heroic exploits, and moral anecdotes with accounts of spirits, omens, and rituals, preserving narrative motifs, sacred shrines, and local explanations for natural features and historical events.
