Gullah History Along The Carolina Lowcountry

Gullah History Along The Carolina Lowcountry

A deep look at the lives, traditions, customs and experiences, of the Gullah people of the Carolina Lowcountry, as they lived and died for generations, along the coastal areas and Sea Islands, with its many isolated pocket communities. A culture and people that have survived so many changes and displacements due to time and events, such as, the tremendous amount of development that has come to areas they once called home. Some communities that were isolated and tucked away way back in time decades ago are now seeing that the area they once called home for generations is now in great demand, for this is prime land that is now in great demand for development.

A look back over time at what was once many isolated communities, and how time and events have changed them and in some instances displaced them. Lifestyles have changed due to time and events and major development, but the people have retained their culture and heritage as passed down to them for generations. A Gullah-Geechee culture that came from West Africa and passed down by Sea Island slaves to subsequent generations.

A look back over time and events, over the many decades at life as it once was, compared to today with its many changes due to development, etc. We have seen and are experiencing a living history, and may be living in a perpetual museum. This book is a documentation and artistic preservation of the culture of the people, and gives a glimpse of the lifestyles in some communities in isolated areas over time. Life in these abodes has changed over the decades due to time and events, technology and major development. The lifestyles of the older generations can be seen in the subsequent generations as they continue to live on the same land that was passed down to them in many instances. The current generation seems to know that they are living in their part of history in a continuing Historic Living Museum in their isolated communities some still tucked away way back in time.

The people are aware of their culture and traditions, and they are still living in these isolated areas by choice, just fulfilling their part in history, for each generation is a part of the Historic Living Museum. Their history comes alive within the pages of this book which includes illustrations and pictures by the author. A once in a lifetime experience that takes you back to the actual events that occurred so many years ago. This book is a Living Historic Museum that comes alive within the pages of this Truly Remarkable Book!
