Book excerpt: Much more than paella, flan, and empanadillas (meat pies), Isleño cuisine reflects the diverse heritage of Louisiana. The ingredients combine to produce a healthy menu of more than 800 dishes that range from Irish Stew and a Chow Mein Hot Dish to Chicken Cacciatore and a New England Boiled Dinner. Other dishes are pure Louisiana, nine different recipes for gumbo, and two for fried alligator, for example. And no one could forget the sweets. One entire chapter is devoted to cakes, cookies, and candies, with another reserved for desserts and pies. While others may eat to live, los Isleños live to eat!

Book Synopsis The Isleños of Louisiana: On the Water's Edge by : Samantha Perez
Download or read book The Isleños of Louisiana: On the Water's Edge written by Samantha Perez. This book was released on 2011-02-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louisiana is perhaps best known for its distinctive French heritage, a legacy visible in the street names and architecture around the state. The truth is, Louisiana has one of the most culturally diverse populations in the nation, with not only French and Anglo-American settlers, but the Native Americans who lived there already, and the enslaved Africans the new colonists brought with them into Louisiana Territory. A chapter of Louisiana history that tends to be forgotten however, is when the area fell to Spanish control in the late 1700s. Coaxed by promises of new opportunity, thousands of Canary Islanders of Spanish descent relocated to Louisiana, where they established four settlements. Generations of Isleños, that is the ethnic group of descendants from the Canary Islands who have intermarried with other communities, have overcome the challenges of an evolving American society, as well as the devastation of storms that have ripped through their land. Through it all, the Isleños have preserved their unique heritage, traditions and culture for more than two centuries.

Book Synopsis The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture by : Celeste Ray
Download or read book The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture written by Celeste Ray. This book was released on 2014-02-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcending familiar categories of "black" and "white," this volume of The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture complicates and enriches our understanding of "southernness" by identifying the array of cultures that combined to shape the South. This exploration of southern ethnicities examines the ways people perform and maintain cultural identities through folklore, religious faith, dress, music, speech, cooking, and transgenerational tradition. Accessibly written and informed by the most recent research that recovers the ethnic diversity of the early South and documents the more recent arrival of new cultural groups, this volume greatly expands upon the modest Ethnic Life section of the original Encyclopedia. Contributors describe 88 ethnic groups that have lived in the South from the Mississippian Period (1000-1600) to the present. They include 34 American Indian groups, as well as the many communities with European, African, and Asian cultural ties that came to the region after 1600. Southerners from all backgrounds are likely to find themselves represented here.
