An authoritative reference exploring Louisiana's culture, history, geography, food, music, and more through essays by a diverse lineup of contributors.
The Louisiana Field Guide approaches the state as a living text, where pronouncing Tchoupitoulas correctly, distinguishing a Creole from a Cajun roux, and knowing the difference between the two Governor Longs are all acts of cultural preservation. Contributors cover environment, politics, religion, language, architecture, film, sports, and art, moving from Cameron Parish to Congo Square and from the Ursuline Convent to Bourgeois' Meat Market outside Thibodaux. The result is both an accessible primer for visitors and a substantive reference for residents.
