Synopsis
This is an engrossing documentary of an African American sea island culture as it once existed.Through the photos of Moutoussamy-Ashe and words of Haley, ""Daufuskie Island"", first published in 1982, vividly captures life on a South Carolina sea island before the arrival of resort culture. Located between Hilton Head and Savannah, Daufuskie has since become a plush resort destination. These images document what life was like for the last inhabitants to occupy the land prior to the onset of tourist developments. When Moutoussamy-Ashe first came to Daufuskie in 1977, about eighty permanent African American residents lived on the island in fewer than fifty homes. Many of the people still spoke their native Gullah dialect. They had only one store, a two-room school, a nursery, and one church.This represented all that remained of a once-thriving antebellum black society which developed after the original plantation owners left the island. After the boll weevil caused cotton crop failures and pollution ruined oyster beds, forcing more and more residents to sell their land to commercial developers, it became obvious that Daufuskie would be transformed into a coastal resort like neighboring Hilton Head. These photos of family gatherings, ox-carts, crabbing, children at play, church services, and the toils of everyday existence independent from many conveniences of modernity form a vibrant mosaic of life as rewarding as it was rough-hewn and serve as a visual record of an African American subculture that no longer exists.Redesigned from cover to cover, this 25th anniversary edition includes more than fifty previously unpublished photographs, a new preface by Deborah Willis and new epilogue by Moutoussamy-Ashe., 2008 Essence Literary Award for Photography First published in 1982, Daufuskie Island vividly captured life on a South Carolina Sea Island before the arrival of resort culture through the photographs of Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe and words of Alex Haley. Located between Hilton Head and Savannah, Daufuskie Island has since become a plush resort destinaion. Moutoussamy-Ashe's photographs document what daily life was like for the last inhabitants to occupy the land prior to the onset of tourist developments. When Moutoussamy-Ashe first came to Daufuskie in 1977, about eighty permanent African American residents lived on the island in fewer than fifty homes. Many of the people still spoke their native Gullah dialect. They had only one store, a two-room school, a nursery, and one active church. This represented all that remained of a once-thriving black society which developed after the original plantation owners left and the land was bought by freed slaves. After the boll weevil caused cotton crop failures and pollution ruined oyster beds, more and more residents sold their land to commercial developers. It became clear that Daufuskie would soon be transformed into a coastal resort like neighboring Hilton Head, changing forever the unique island culture that survived largely unchanged for the preceding half-century. Moustoussamy-Ashe's photographs show family gatherings, crabbing and fishing, children at play, spiritual life, and the toils of everyday existence. With the utmost respect for her notoriously shy subjects, she captured a powerful vision of their rough-hewn but rewarding life independent from many modern conveniences. Redesigned from cover to cover, this twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Daufuskie Island includes more than fifty previously unpublished photographs from the original contact sheets, a new preface by Deborah Willis, and a new epilogue by Moutoussamy-Ashe. This edition is published to accompany a traveling exhibition sponsored by Merrill Lynch. "Moutoussamy-Ashe's personal fascination with South Carolina's coastal region led her further to Daufuskie. The emotional reaction of an artist to what she saw, heard, and felt is why you and I can hold in our hands the quite special evidence of Jeanne's mastery of her profession."--Alex Haley, from the foreword "These photographs present a valuable picture of a culture that is rapidly vanishing. Paradoxically they also exist as a record of Daufuskie's existence, hence its preservation."--Deborah Willis, from the preface, Captures life on a South Carolina sea island before the arrival of resort culture. This documentary includes photos of family gatherings, ox-carts, crabbing, children at play, church services, and the toils of everyday existence independent from many conveniences of modernity.
