Dancing with the Devil Folklore


The book Dancing with the Devil, written by Mr. Limón himself, he combines current cultural theory with his personal story and uses anthropology, folklore, popular culture, history, and literary criticism.  

A native of South Texas,  he renders a historical and ethnographic account of  its rich Mexican-American folk culture.  This folk culture story shows how Limón "dances" with the devil, both resisting  and accommodating  the dominant culture of Texas.
