The past sixty years have shaped and reshaped the group of French-speaking Louisiana people known as the Cajuns. During this period, they have become much like other Americans and yet have remained strikingly distinct. The Cajuns: Americanization of a People explores these six decades and analyzes the forces that had an impact on Louisiana's Acadiana.

Mention `the Bluff¿ anywhere along the Mississippi coast and chances are people will know where you are talking about. It consists of a quick stop and liquor store, a boat launch and bait shop. There is a pumping station, a community of houseboat dwellers and a waterfront subdivision. The centerpiece of the area and `the Bluff¿ most often referred to, is a roadhouse bar that features cold beer, slate pool tables and cheap well drinks. Five nights a week a solid, Southern rock band plays host to a who¿s who list of unvarnished local talent. It has the unsavory reputation as the place to be. It has been like that for twenty-five years. Out back is a permanently occupied, eight-unit motel. The rent is cheap and the livin¿ is easy.
