Publisher's Synopsis

Set against the background of the antebellum slave trade, Drums and Shadows traces the persistence of African heritage in the culture of blacks living on the Georgia coast in the 1930s. Members of the Georgia Writers' Project interviewed blacks about conjure--the curses and potions--and about dreams, spirits, and other apparitions.
