Summaries

A languid, impressionistic story of three generations of Gullah women living on the South Carolina Sea Islands in 1902.

Languid look at the Gullah culture of the sea islands off the coast of South Carolina and Georgia where African folk-ways were maintained well into the 20th Century and was one of the last bastions of these mores in America. Set in 1902.—John Sacksteder <[email protected]>
