Gonzales is a collection of folk tales and narratives written in the early 20th century. The book provides an exploration of the Gullah culture and dialect, showcasing the lives, traditions, and storytelling traditions of African Americans along the Carolina coast. Through the characters and anecdotes presented, it offers a rich insight into the unique social fabric and historical context of this community. The opening of the book sets the stage with a foreword that delves into the history of the Gullah people, detailing their origins and the development of their distinctive dialect. The first story, "Noblesse Oblige," introduces Joe Fields, a humorous and proud character who boasts about his former master's lineage while navigating the realities of his present life. The narrative intertwines themes of pride, identity, and the lingering effects of slavery, as Joe's tales reveal both his admiration and the absurdity of his circumstances. This introductory section draws readers into the world of the Gullah, blending rich cultural history and vibrant storytelling.
