Over the course of more than three centuries, the diverse communities of Louisiana<\/a> have engaged in creative living practices to forge a vibrant, multifaceted, and fully developed Creole<\/a> culture. Against the backdrop of ongoing anti-Blackness and Indigenous erasure that has sought to undermine this rich culture, Louisiana Creoles<\/a> have found transformative ways to uphold solidarity, kinship, and continuity, retaking Louisiana Creole agency as a post-contact Afro-Indigenous culture. Engaging themes as varied as foodways, queer identity, health, historical trauma, language revitalization, and diaspora, Louisiana Creole Peoplehood<\/em> explores vital ways a specific Afro-Indigenous community asserts agency while promoting cultural sustainability, communal dialogue, and community reciprocity.<\/p>\n

With interviews, essays, and autobiographic contributions from community members and scholars, Louisiana Creole Peoplehood<\/em> tracks the sacred interweaving of land and identity alongside the legacies and genealogies of Creole resistance to bring into focus the Afro-Indigenous people who have been negated and written out of settler governmental policy. In doing so, this collection intervenes against the erasure of Creole Indigeneity to foreground Black\/Indian cultural sustainability, agency, and self-determination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
