There exists, an indispensable subculture based within a 500-mile radius of the coastal South Atlantic states and Sea Islands. These culture bearers, who refer to themselves as the Gullah Geechee, or the “Gullah” for short, are the descendants and rightful heirs of the once-shackled slaves who resided in these parts. As the guardians and torch holders of the incredible legacy left behind by their persevering ancestors, the modern Gullah spare no effort in preserving the inherently unique customs and traditions, complete with their own creole tongue.

An Essential History Illustration

Easily digested during my drive to the Low Country, where I plan to visit Gullah sites in between beach visits. Well put together -- especially the context of where Gullah history fits into and diverges from American slavery history. The section about the disappearing traditions is heartbreaking, as it should be. The narration admirably stays out of the way of the text, but I do wish the publisher had found someone whose heritage is closer to the material (I don't know Mr. Hare's background, but he sounds White). That detail would have brought the book to life even more. Either way, a solid effort, and I'm glad it's here to be heard.
