Adrian's Perception
Today I awoke Like any other day Today was the fi rst and my last day Today is the day that I take my life Today is the day that I take this one last walk I have all the stuff And I will even carry the pain But this isn't no ordinary walk You see this walk defi nes me It will let you see all of my You will know my naked truth Today in this last walk You will see all I was once a happy child with smiles and cheer I had the mother the father and the sisters to share With family and friends that followed near I had an aunt the loved me o so dear But later that year the tears began to fall And my tears begun to follow so close in the air Right foot left foot Just as easy I lost my dad to the str...
The White Nuns
The White Nuns considers Cistercian women and the women who were their patrons in a clear-eyed reading of narrative texts and administrative records. In rejecting long-accepted misogynies and misreadings, Constance Hoffman Berman offers a robust model for historians writing against received traditions.
Morceaux choisis du folklore louisianais
"In this volume are gathered five master's theses written under the supervision of Professors William A. Read and James Broussard at the University of Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the early twentieth century. The common aim of these works - which the authors are ASH Trappey (1916), R. Lavergne (1930), S.J. Durand (1930) A. Jarreau (1931) and Ch Welcome (1933) - is to provide texts in Creole Louisiana as it was spoken in the late nineteenth century. These are collections of stories, riddles, songs and medical forms collected by the authors in the various regions of Louisiana Creole speaking and some of which already contain some remarks on the Louisiana Creole language. Thus, they provide not only information on the oral tradition in Louisiana, still alive in the early twentieth century, but they also constitute an important database for longitudinal studies on Louisiana Creole."--Transliterated from publisher's website.
After This Our Exile
After the years of turmoil and tragedy, life at La Bonne Vie Plantation settled into placid contentment (or a semblance of such) ... until Nicolas (Nicky) Fontenot, prodigal son of Angelique and her brother François, returns after years in a Texas prison, and Antoine Babineaux II returns to claim his father’s name. At the heart of the story, and the hearts of Antoine and Nicolas, is beautiful, incorrigible Desirée Fontenot, the image of her mother Angelique. Ghosts of the past rise up and the lurid whispers and innuendos come to life once again. Then Uncle Virgil Leveque, the catalyst of the earlier tragedy, returns home after thirty years in an insane asylum, and unwittingly becomes the agent provocateur that sends the story hurtling toward its conclusion and closure at last. But is there truly closure?
Arkansas, Forgotten Land of Plenty
In the first decades of the 1800s, white Americans entered the rugged lands of Arkansas, which they had little explored before. They established new towns and developed commercial enterprises alongside Native Americans indigenous to Arkansas and other tribes and nations that had relocated there from the East. This history is also the story of Arkansas's people, and is told through numerous biographies, highlighting early life in frontier Arkansas over a period of 200 years. The book provides a categorical look at commerce and portrays the social diversity represented by both prominent and common Arkansans--all grappling for success against extraordinary circumstances.
