This book takes as its premise that the basic configuration of the plantation, in terms of its physical layout and the social relations it created, was largely the same in the Caribbean and the American South. Essays written by leading authorities in the field examine the cultural, social, and historical affinities between the Francophone Caribbean and the American South, including Louisiana, which among the Southern states has had a quite particular attachment to France and the Francophone world. The essays focus on issues of history, language, politics and culture in various forms, notably literature, music and theatre UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31671/1/626350.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31671/1/626350.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/31671/1/626350.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/28324 ER -
