Hi,
Just a quick note about story telling, I have done story retelling in 3
U.S. sub-cultures:
Native-American, Mexican American, and Black communities. The results
are that certain cultural themes emerge in the selective aspects of
retelling( the story the children hear is basically the same tale but
with culturally changing illustrations).This work goes back to the 80's.
