HIST 058. Africa in America: Gullah/Geechee Life and Culture
The study of the Gullah/Geechee from their West African origins to contemporary political struggles. Creators of an indigenous “pidgin,” crafters of sweet grass baskets, skilled fishermen and growers of Carolina Gold rice, the Gullah/Geechee have occupied coastal lands from South Carolina to Florida since the 18th century. 21st-century descendants resist displacement as land is claimed for “wildlife sanctuaries.” This course is not open to first-year students.
