The Gullah: Memory, Survival, and the Future of a People traces the extraordinary journey of the Gullah people of the Southeast coast - from the horrors of slavery to the survival of language, crafts, faith, and foodways that shaped American culture. Blending history and storytelling, this book reveals how the Gullah preserved African traditions against all odds, influencing everything from gospel and blues to Southern cuisine and folklore.

From sweetgrass baskets to the ring shout, from Br'er Rabbit tales to the modern fight for land and heritage, the Gullah story is one of resilience and creativity. This is not a tale of a ""vanished people,"" but of a living culture whose circle remains unbroken, carrying the past into the future with dignity and pride.

For readers of history, African American studies, folklore, or cultural preservation, this book offers a vivid portrait of a people who continue to shape the soul of America.
