Synopsis
The Gullah are an amazing culture inside of the larger American culture. The blend of African cultures that combined to make the Gullah has left them with a strong identity and allowed them to hold onto their myths, religion, and folk practices. Blue Roots gives you an inside look through the author and his family's history with the Gullah. There are folk tales, herbal remedies, and cultural beliefs outlined with a clear writing style that is easy to read.
