| Publisher Description: This is a study of the relationship between cultural change and the persistence of cultural identities in two distinct sections of Louisiana in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From the early nineteenth century, Louisiana was culturally divided between northern and southern regions. North Louisiana, whose white population descended from Anglo-Protestants, became culturally separate from the French Triangle parishes of South Louisianaƒ‚‚"ƒ‚‚€ƒ‚‚"composed primarily of Catholics who are culturally indebted to the French, Spanish, and French Canadian heritages of the region. |
