- Synopsis
- Call Me Gullah presents a vivid description of a unique group within the African American culture. The Gullah living on seacoast islands bordering South Carolina and Georgia have the purest bloodline of all African slaves brought to North America in wooden ships. This entertaining book tracks the life of a member of the Gullah Community, also known as Geechees. Sons of former slaves have left a dialect, culture, and cuisine having a direct link to their West African heritage. This work shines the spotlight on the Brown family of St. Helena Island, South Carolina. You will meet them and see why they are proud of their indigenous heritage.
