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.
