McDavid Jr., Raven I. - Review of "Africanisms in the Gullah Dialect" , 1983

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 15

Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Virginia Benmaman collection consists of 3 hollinger boxes divided between 2 series.

Series one regards Dr. Benmaman's research, publications, and notes. Series two contains various journals, articles, and essays.

Both series can be utilized when studying and referencing linguistic history of the Gullah dialect in the lowcountry. During her time as a professor at the College of Charleston, it is evident that Dr. Benmaman kept a fluid interest in categoizing, documenting, and honoring the history of the Gullah Geechee nation, as well as all Creole-based, American dialects.
