Lisonbee family folklore, 2003.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/367544466

Lisonbee recounts and analyzes the folkloric elements of the recurring narratives in his family. He believes that specific family stories persist as a means for the older generation to confer the values of their generation onto the younger generation. Family stories also function as unifying agents by bringing a family closer together and allowing for the subsequent sharing of worldviews. Lisonbee suggests that family stories evoke a communal pathos that strengthens the family and increases identification amongst its members. Lisonbee concludes by emphasizing the use of family stories as a means of value reinforcement, social control, and cultural memory.
