Although a number of important studies of American slavery have explored the formation of slave cultures in the English colonies, no book until now has undertaken a comprehensive assessment of the development of the distinctive Afro-Creole culture of colonial Louisiana. This culture, based upon a separate language community with its own folkloric, musical, religious, and historical traditions, was created by slaves brought directly from Africa to Louisiana before 1731. It still survives as the acknowledged cultural heritage of tens of thousands of people of all races in the southern part of the state. In this pathbreaking work, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall studies Louisiana's creole slave community during the eighteenth century, focusing on the slaves' African origins, the evolution of their own language and culture, and the role they played in the formation of the broader society, economy, and culture of the region. Hall bases her study on research in a wide range of archival sources in Louisiana, France, and Spain and employs several disciplines--history, anthropology, linguistics, and folklore--in her analysis. Among the topics she considers are the French slave trade from Africa to Louisiana, the ethnic origins of the slaves, and relations between African slaves and native Indians. She gives special consideration to race mixture between Africans, Indians, and whites; to the role of slaves in the Natchez Uprising of 1729; to slave unrest and conspiracies, including the Pointe Coupee conspiracies of 1791 and 1795; and to the development of communities of runaway slaves in the cypress swamps around New Orleans.

Enslaved Africans and free people of color of Louisiana deserve the title of "Founding Fathers" just as much as the French, the Spanish, and the Americans. In spite of their subjugated role as slaves, African Americans of Louisiana, and subsequently New Orleans, were contributors to the success of the state and the city far beyond their role within the labor force. Imported into the Louisiana Territory by John Law's Company of the Indies, enslaved Africans, fed on a pound of corn a day, gave birth to American figures of the 19th and 20th centuries. Mahalia Jackson, Louis Armstrong, Homer Plessy, Marie Laveau, Buddy Bolden, Julies Lion, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, the fighting men of the Louisiana Native Guard, Ernest "Dutch" Morial, and many other African Americans contributed to the growth and development of New Orleans. Every African American citizen of New Orleans is intrinsically connected to the city's cultural and political landscape.

This dissertation demonstrates the Louisiana "Creole" culture from the Afrocentric perspective. This is unique as much of the research in the field has not been conducted from this perspective. It will specifically look at the language, food, music, dance, and spirituality of the southwest region of the state. These aspects were chosen due to their centrality and primacy in the culture, as well as their clear continuity from Africa. This research will also evaluate the African culture of Louisiana that is often defined as "Creole" and sometimes "Cajun." It will interrogate the idea of "Creole" (creolite/creoleness, creolization), which is often defined as a mixture of various cultures/races and as a culture indigenous to a new land, through the theory of Afrocentricity. Ultimately this study is needed in order to demonstrate the Afrocentric claim that culture was not destroyed in the African Diaspora but instead maintained.

In this extraordinary research tool, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall has created and edited databases containing well over 100,000 records from countless manuscript and census sources to provide an unprecedented look into the lives of Africans and people of African descent in Louisiana -- as well as of their slave-owners and freers -- from earliest colonial times through 1860. The center-piece of the disc is Hall's monumental Louisiana Slave Database, 1719-1820, more than 97,000 records and 125 fields entered almost entirely from original manuscript sources written in French, Spanish, and English. Also on the CD-ROM are Hall's Louisiana Slave Manumissions, 1720-1820 and The New Orleans Census of 1778; Paul LaChance's compilation of Louisiana censuses from 1699 through 1860; and Jeffrey and Virginia Gould's databases of various New Orleans, Pensacola, and Mobile censuses from 1784 to 1850.

Images of America: African Americans in Lafayette and Southwest Louisiana sheds a spotlight on some of the heroes and heroines of Southwest Louisiana. This area of the state is especially diverse and includes people who describe themselves as African Americans, Creoles, mulattoes, and blacks. Many people say they have mixed bloodlines that include Native American, African, and French ancestors. Their arts, culture, food, music, and crafts are distinct and rich with flavors of the past and the present. The Creoles and mulattoes, for example, speak the language of Creole, which is described as broken French.
