607. Part 2 of our conversation with Rain
Prud'homme-Cranford (Rain C. Goméz) & her friends D. G.
Barthe and Andrew Jolivette about their book, Louisiana
Creole Peoplehood.
“Over the course of more than three centuries, the diverse
communities of Louisiana have engaged in creative living
practices to forge a vibrant, multifaceted, and fully developed
Creole culture. Against the backdrop of ongoing anti-Blackness
and Indigenous erasure that has sought to undermine this rich
culture, Louisiana Creoles have found transformative ways to
uphold solidarity, kinship, and continuity, retaking Louisiana
Creole agency as a post-contact Afro-Indigenous culture.
