The Harvard Guide to African-American History: Foreword by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
Heard a bit about the Gullah population clustered around the Carolina sea coast and wanted to find out more. I had some misinformed ideas about who the Gullah people were that this book effectively remedied, but this is a pretty dry anthropological text. The most rewarding chapters were those on the Gullah language and social structure and their relation to/mutation from their African forebears, and it's always instructive to be reminded of the horrific physical hardships endured by slaves in the American South. But the graphs: wholly unnecessary in light of the more-than-sufficient textual explications.
Pollitzer couldn't have ended his book on a more eloquent, true note: "The Gullah people are not a museum piece, relics of the past, but rather survivors of enslavement, bondage, discrimination, and white privilege, fellow human beings entitled to work out their own destiny."
