What is Creoles of South Louisiana : three centuries strong about?

Creoles established themselves in South Louisiana long before Acadian exiles reached the shores of the Bayou State. Boasting a mlange of African, European, and North American roots, Creoles converged on Louisiana s prairies and created their own distinct cuisine, language, and musical style. In Creoles of South Three Centuries Strong, Dr. Elista Istre invites her readers to enter the Creole world a place where cooks tempt taste buds with gumbo and crawfish, storytellers mesmerize young and old with tales tied to three continents, and musicians and dancers pulsate to the rhythms of accordions and rubboards. Despite inside pressure to isolate and outside pressure to assimilate, Creoles from all walks of life continue to forge new identities while preserving and celebrating traditional elements of their rich heritage. They are adaptable. They are resilient. They are strong.
