606. Part 1 of Rain Prud’homme-Cranford (Rain C. Goméz) & her friends D. G. Barthe and Andrew Jolivette's visit to our porch this week. Louisiana Creole Peoplehood
is the book they collaborated on. “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. Engaging themes as varied as
foodways, queer identity, health, historical trauma, language
revitalization, and diaspora, Louisiana Creole Peoplehood explores vital
ways a specific Afro-Indigenous community asserts agency while
promoting cultural sustainability, communal dialogue, and community
reciprocity.” Rain works within Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous Studies — literature; ecology; gender, two-spirit, and sexuality; Métis; Louisiana Creole; Red/Black Rhetorics; and critical mixed race.
