| Résumé: | In Louisiana, every bite of food and each turn of phrase is an expression of cultural literacy. Correctly pronouncing ""Tchoupitoulas"" or ""Atchafalaya, "" knowing the difference between the first Governor Long and the second one, being able to spot the artwork of Caroline Durieux, and honoring the distinction between a Creole and a Cajun roux serve not just as markers of familiarity; they represent acts of preservation. The Louisiana Field Guide: Understanding Life in the Pelican State expands on this everyday communion of history, delving into the cultural patchwork that makes the Gumbo Stat. |
