Becoming Cajun, Becoming American
Author: Maria Hebert-Leiter
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807136133
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Becoming Cajun, Becoming American, presents an excellent and unique introduction to American Acadian and Cajun literature, exploring how American writers have portrayed Acadian culture over the past 150 years. Beginning with Henry Wadsworth Longfellows poem Evangeline and the writings of George Washington Cable, Hebert-Leiter examination includes the fiction of Kate Chopin and Ernest Gaines, James Lee Burkes Dave Robicheaux detective novels, and additional writings by Ada Jack Carver, Elma Godchaux, Shirley Ann Grau, and others. Representations of the Acadian in literature reflect the Acadians path towards assimilation. Combining her study of Acadian literary history with an examination of Acadian ethnic history, the author offers insight into the Americanization process experienced by the Acadians, who came to be known as Cajuns during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
