Description: Reminiscences of Sea Island Heritage SOUTH CAROLINA 1800'S-EARLY 1900'S "Before Ron Daise began celebrating the ancient culture of the African-American family in *Gullah, Gullah Island he documented the customs and lifestyles of a proud group of Sea Island blacks in this, his first book. Beginning with the first freedmen and their descendents, he reveals a colorful and provocative story, told in words of island natives and illustrated with photographs taken around the turn of the century." "Ronald Daise paints an amazing portrait of the Sea Island legacy steeped with rich African-American culture in St. Helena, South Carolina. "Reminiscences of Sea Island Heritage" beautifully document the customs, folklore and rituals of newly freed Blacks who remained on the island. I have to agree that this book depicts the isolation of Sea Island fostered by people speaking a unique language that is based on West African heritage and an American circumstance, known as Gullah and people who are notably called Geechies."
