Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Although freedom came to enslaved African Americans after the Civil War, many Gullah families remained isolated on South Carolina barrier islands where they worked the land, the rivers and the sea. Standing in the Gap, much of it written in a Gullah patois, is about typical African-American family life from 1915 to 1917 on Wadmalaw Island and in nearby Charleston. The Logan-Rouse line of sea islanders includes young Jacob Rouse who, like his late grandfather 'Big Leon' Logan, possesses an eerie connection to the spiritual world brought with them five centuries earlier from Africa. The story opens on a humid summer day with the arrival of the midwife at Jacob's grandmother's house, where the boy's aunt is about to deliver her first child. We soon learn Jacob is an especially spiritual child born 'under the veil' with a distinctive birthmark. An enigma to family and friends, Jacob provides relief from their burdens. He is a gift from above who, the old folk say, is 'standing in the gap' between Heaven and Earth. This story is abundant in African-American tradition, culture and suspense, and expressed in an authentic Gullah dialect enlightening and enjoyable, especially if read aloud. Charleston native and author Sherman E. Pyatt includes a helpful glossary of Gullah words, a collection in itself worth the purchase price.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. African Americans of the South have long had a rich tradition of folklore and customs, many of which predate the Civil War. Some of these beliefs originated in the South, while others have their roots in voodoo and African religions. But with the end of the Civil War and the decline of segregation, the folklife of Southern African Americans has been disappearing. Many African American children were taught to forget all reminders of the long hard years of slavery, and many African Americans continue to be unaware of their people's cultural contributions in song, dance, art, and literature. While folklore has always been an intrinsic part of African American society, it was not until the early 1940s that African American folklore was a subject of research.As a reference work, this volume preserves the folklife of Southern African Americans and refers readers to additional sources of information. The first part includes alphabetically arranged entries for a wide range of topics from Southern African American folklife, such as critter stew, death customs, evil spirits, High John the Conqueror, peach tree leaves, persimmon beer, quilts, ragtime, and snakes. Information for these entries was drawn from interviews and from scholarly works. The entries include cross-references to entries in the second part of the volume, which is an extensive catalog of books, articles, and other sources of information. These works are arranged in topical chapters to facilitate research.…
