The Gullah And Geechee People
Publisher Description
Many Americans are unaware that along the South Carolina and Georgia coast lies a culture more strongly rooted in African ways than any other in America. In quiet self-sufficiency, the Gullahs and Geechees lived off the water and the land on isolated bar- rier sea islands with their own unique language, lifestyle and cul- ture. It was life in a simpler time with pristine saltwater for fish- ing, crabbing and gathering oysters; virgin maritime forests; sand roads and wild game. This book contains an abundance of historical information about the Gullah and Geechee people and their unique language, superstitions, folklore, customs and traditions, as well as a section on Gullah and Geechee cooking.
