Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

A fascinating ethnographical and historical exploration of the Gullah people and culture, which forms a group of African Americans living in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and Georgia. The Gullah retain much of their African heritage in the form of cuisine, music, folk beliefs, and farming traditions. 

This work contains first-hand stories and tales from individuals from this cultural group as well as sheet music, recorded by Guy and Candie Carawan. 

The first edition, first printing of this work, as stated on the copyright page. 

Including illustrations from photographs taken by Robert Yellin.

Also including an introduction by ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax.

Condition

In the publisher's original paperback binding. Externally, some age-toning and edgewear, along with slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Some creasing to the extremities. Internally, front hinge is strained, though remaining binding is firm. Pages are lightly age-toned to the extremities with the odd handling mark, but are otherwise clean.
