"Ain't You Got a Right to the Tree of Life?" presents an oral,
musical, and photographic record of the venerable Gullah culture in
modern times. With roots stretching back to their slave forebears,
the Johns Islanders and their folk traditions are a vital link
between black Americans and their African and Caribbean ancestors.
When first published in 1966, this book conveyed islanders'
trepidation and jubilation upon the arrival of the civil rights
movement to their isolated home. In this edition, which is updated
through the late 1980s, the stories and songs of an older day blend
with the voices of an empowered younger generation determined to
fight the overdevelopment of their land by resort builders.
