While there is a veritable industry of books on literary Charleston and on \"the lowcountry,\" along with a plenitude of Gullah-inspired studies in history, anthropology, linguistics, folklore, and religion, there has never been a comprehensive study of the region's literary influence, particularly in the years of the Great Migration and the Harlem (and Charleston) Renaissance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy giving voice to artists and culture makers on both sides of the color line, uncovering buried histories, and revealing secret connections between races amid official practices of Jim Crow, \u003ci\u003eRomancing the Gullah\u003c\/i\u003e sheds new light on an only partially told tale.
