Acerca de este título
Louisiana has never been easy to pin down. Born of swamps and river mud, claimed by France, Spain, and the United States (sometimes all in the same century), it has been a crossroads of empires, cultures, and catastrophes. From Indigenous mound-builders to the Mardi Gras krewes of New Orleans, from the brutality of slavery to the brilliance of jazz, Louisiana’s history is as tangled and unruly as the bayous that define it.
This isn’t a sanitized tale of noble pioneers and tidy progress. It’s a story of contradictions, where corruption and creativity walk hand in hand, where hurricanes and oil spills batter communities that somehow keep singing, and where resilience is less about quiet endurance than throwing a parade in the face of disaster.
Gumbo and Grit: A Not-So-Polite History of Louisiana dives into the state’s layered past with equal parts candor and wit. You’ll meet conquistadors and Cajuns, pirates and populists, enslaved laborers and jazz legends, all stirring the pot that made Louisiana what it is today.
Messy, vibrant, heartbreaking, and unforgettable—this is history the Louisiana way.
