Barbara Garrity-Blake

Barbara J. Garrity-Blake (Grad ’88, ’91) will publish Living at the Water’s Edge (University of North Carolina Press, 2017) in April. The book is a heritage guide to the Outer Banks National Scenic Byway with four full-color maps as well as many color and black-and-white photographs. It shares the stories of people who have shaped their lives out of the region’s saltwater and sand, giving cultural dimension to the beach experience that many visitors never see. Ms. Garrity-Blake is a cultural anthropologist and lives in Gloucester, North Carolina.
