| Abstract |
This collection about the Sea Islanders, a Gullah-speaking people who live on the coast and sea islands of Georgia and South Carolina, consists of 14 documents. Four were published between 1926 and 1942, and the rest between 1973 and 2003. The studies focus on folklore and folksongs, oral histories, and language; and the main locations studied are Johns, Wadmalaw, and St. Helena's Islands, South Carolina and St. Simon's Island, Georgia. The Sea Islanders are descendents of slaves first brought to the islands in the seventeenth century. Isolated from the mainland, the Sea Islanders developed a distinct culture, which remained largely intact until the first bridges were built in the 1920s. |
