Acadian to Cajun by Carl Brasseaux (Book)

Acadian To Cajun: Transformation Of A People 1803-1877. This work is first to examine the demographic growth, cultural evolution, and political involvement of Louisiana's large Acadian community between the time of the Louisiana purchase (1803) when the transplanted culture began to take on a decidedly Louisiana character, and 1877, the end of Reconstruction in Louisiana, when traditional distinctions between Acadians and neighboring groups had ceased to be valid. 304 pages (6x9) Softcover.
