Summary of Gullah History Along the Carolina Lowcountry
This book is a documentation and artistic preservation of the history and culture of the Gullah People along the Carolina Lowcountry. This Gullah-Geechee culture came from West Africa and was passed down by Sea Island slaves to subsequent generations. Therefore, this culture has survived despite many changes and displacements. The people of this area are aware of their culture and traditions and are still living in these isolated areas by choice. And though some communities that were isolated and tucked away way for decades are now seeing their land in great demand for development, they continue to live as they have for generations. They have created a kind of living history, or a Historic Living Museum. Their history comes alive within the pages of this book, which includes illustrations and pictures by the author.State & Local Books
