About
Nancy Groce and Douglas Peach of the American Folklife Center sit down with Melissa Cooper, associate professor of history at Rutgers University-Newark, discussing her research on the emergence of “the Gullah” in scholarly and popular works beginning in the 1920s and the 1930s. Using Georgia as a case study, Dr. Cooper explores the forces that initially inspired interest in Black southerners’ African heritage and the legacies of early research and publications that made Sapelo Islanders famous, including historic fieldwork and documentation materials that are now part of the AFC Archive.
