Summary

The past sixty years have shaped and reshaped that group of French-speaking Louisiana people known as the Cajuns. During this period they have become much like other Americans and yet have remained strikingly distinct. The Cajuns: Americanization of a People explores six decades of Cajun history and analyzes the forces that impacted on Louisiana's Acadiana. During these years of Americanization the Cajuns were swept into the strong currents of mass culture. All these forces have pushed and pulled at the fabric of Cajun life but did not destroy it. This fascinating book reveals why. Book jacket.
