Description
A historical analysis of the Gullahs of South Carolina, and an imaginative and suggestive remedy of slave religion and social cohesion, “A Extraordinary Other people”: Slave Religion and Community-Culture Among The Gullahs examines the components that supplied the Sea Island slave population with their cultural autonomy and sense of consciousness. The weather of community, religion, and resistance are examined in relationship to this distinctive Other people. Combining anthropological and historical studies with observations, reports, manuscripts, and letters in the case of the Gullahs, the book creates a very good and interesting analysis of Gullah culture within the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
