Weight: 3.00 lbs
We were never lost; we were planted. The Book: This is the flagship volume—a sweeping historical narrative for the general reader. It traces the Gullah Geechee people arc from the Rice Coast of Sierra Leone to the tidal marshes of South Carolina and Georgia. Unlike dry academic texts, this book reads like an epic. It uncovers the Three Ruptures (internal African conflict, the Middle Passage, and post-war betrayal). It reveals the Double Front Freedom fought for by ancestors who resisted slavery while preserving their culture. Key Selling Points:
Through African Eyes: A rare perspective that centers African agency, linking the Gullah basket names of the Lowcountry directly to the names of Freetown.
Historical Revelation: Features the Unlisted Eight captives of the slave ship Hare, restoring humanity to those erased by colonial ledgers.
The Reassembly: Chronicles modern homecomings, proving the diaspora’s circle is unbroken.
