607. Rain Gomez, D. G. Barthe, & Andrew Jolivette, Part 2
607. Part 2 of our conversation with Rain
Prud'homme-Cranford (Rain C. Goméz) & her friends D. G.
Barthe and Andrew Jolivette about their book, Louisiana
Creole Peoplehood.
“Over the course of more than three centuries, the diverse
communities of Louisiana have engaged in creative living
practices to forge a vibrant, multifaceted, and fully developed
Creole culture. Against the backdrop of ongoing anti-Blackness
and Indigenous erasure that has sought to undermine this rich
culture, Louisiana Creoles have found transformative ways to
uphold solidarity, kinship, and continuity, retaking Louisiana
Creole agency as a post-contact Afro-Indigenous culture.
Engaging themes as varied as foodways, queer identity, health,
historical trauma, language revitalization, and diaspora,
Louisiana Creole Peoplehood explores vital ways a specific
Afro-Indigenous community asserts agency while promoting
cultural sustainability, communal dialogue, and community
reciprocity.” Rain works within Indigenous and Afro-Indigenous
Studies — literature; ecology; gender, two-spirit, and
sexuality; Métis; Louisiana Creole; Red/Black Rhetorics; and
critical mixed race.

State government moved to Donaldsonville from New
Orleans - This week in New Orleans history. When the city of New
Orleans was struck by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, the
bakery's ventilation system, an exterior wall, and the roof
were damaged. Production of Hubig's pies was halted and did
not start again until more than four months later, January
4, 2006, after the neighborhood had clean water,
reliable electricity, and sufficient gas pressure. Hubig's
pies increased slightly in cost since the storm, and the
variety of flavors offered has changed. About 30,000
hand-sized pies are made a day to be delivered on the next
day. This year they're adding King Cake during Mardi Gras
season.
