Conservative or liberal, black, white, or griffe, all Louisianians
should find this book a fascinating read--an insight into the
complicated political and social battles that shaped our state's
history and still affect our society today.-- "New Orleans
Magazine"
Multicultural before there was a name, racially constructed before
there was a theory, international before there was a discourse,
Louisiana's Creoles have much to teach us about the specific
history and production of a remarkable people as well as about the
larger, overarching, fluid, and complicated issues of culture,
nation, and race. This extraordinary interdisciplinary collection,
wide-ranging yet judiciously focused, is a powerful and necessary
addition to twenty-first century studies of race and
culture.--Thadious M. Davis, author of Southscapes: Geographies of
Race, Region, and Literature
