A people dispersed. A culture reassembled. A story returned.

This is not just a history book. It is a reawakening. The Gullah Geechee Saga: Through African Eyes traces the extraordinary journey of a people taken from the shores of West Africa, scattered by the transatlantic slave trade, and re-rooted through resistance, resilience, and remembrance.

 
Told from the African perspective, the Saga moves across centuries and continents—from the rice fields of Sierra Leone to the praise houses of Georgia, from sacred basket names to the hush of a memory that refused to die. Along the way, it braids truth, tribute, and scholarship into a sweeping narrative of cultural survival and ancestral return.
