Synopsis
Excerpt from The Black Border: Gullah Stories of the Carolina Coast, (With a Glossary)
It is interesting to know that in the low-country of South Carolina, instead of Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox, it is invariably Buh Rabbit en' Buh Wolf. Strange, too, because wolves must have been found in upper Georgia and Carolina for more than a hundred years after they were exterminated along the coast, within whose forests still abound the grey foxes whose natural prey is the rabbit.
Encouraged by the success of the Uncle Remus stories, which greatly surprised this singularly modest man, Mr. Harris wrote novels and other stories of Georgia life among whites and blacks. While these were published successfully, it is upon the animal tales of Uncle Remus that his fame has been permanently established.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich and often overlooked world of Gullah culture, a unique blend of African traditions and American influences that emerged on the coastal islands and mainland of South Carolina and Georgia. The author, through a collection of stories and anecdotes told in the distinctive Gullah dialect, brings to life the experiences and perspectives of this marginalized community. The stories explore the themes of superstition, humor, and resilience, revealing the enduring spirit of a people who were forced into slavery and yet managed to preserve their heritage. Through vivid depictions of everyday life, we gain insights into the Gullah worldview, their deep connection to nature, and their unique way of understanding the world. The author expertly captures the rhythm and cadence of the Gullah language, providing a fascinating glimpse into a largely undocumented dialect that has been shaped by centuries of oral storytelling and cultural adaptation.
