Books by Charles Joyner

A new edition of the classic study of slave life in the American South

Remember Me is a short primer on the coast of Georgia and its unique African cultural heritage. Charles Joyner offers a rich picture of that culture's stories, songs, and traditions, as well as the nineteenth-century plantation life in which it endured.

By examining the mutual influence of history and folk culture, this book reveals the essence of southern culture in the complex and dynamic interactions of descendants of Europeans, Africans, and Native Americans. It covers a broad spectrum of southern folk groups, folklore expressions, and major themes of southern history.
