Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Julie Dash's acclaimed film, "Daughters of the Dust," was a cause for celebration, a lyrical portrait of a family of complex, independent African-American women. Now she returns to the rich Gullah culture of the Sea Islands in a remarkable new novel that reacquaints us with her fascinating characters, expanding their story in deeper and even more magically compelling ways. From Harlem at the height of the celebrated literary Renaissance to the isolated islands off the Carolina coast, "Daughters of the Dust" chronicles the lives of the Peazants, a large, proud extended family. Amelia Varnes leaves New York to return to her mother's home and trace her family's history. Through her evolving friendship with her cousin Elizabeth, Amelia enters the lives of the Peazants, tracing their origins to the early Africans brought to the islands more than a hundred years before. As she listens to the colorful stories, the "lies" they tell, their history comes alive in the poetry of their language and in the music of their voices. Past and present intertwine in their stories of Africa, of slavery and emancipation, of turbulent passions and the joys of family life, and of a people who shaped their destiny with their own strong hands. Amelia's pursuit of knowledge becomes a journey of self-illumination: In learning to treasure her family's traditions, she ultimately reclaims her heritage. A black woman anthropologist from 1920s New York visits the Sea Islands off the coast of the Carolinas and discovers her roots. A look at the culture of the Gullah people, descendants of blacks who intermarried with Native Americans.
