Résumé : "'Becoming American in Creole New Orleans, 1896-1949' picks up the story of New Orleans' Creole community where Caryn Cossé Bell ends her highly-regarded 'Revolution, Romanticism, and the Afro-Creole Protest Tradition in Louisiana, 1718-1868' (LSU Press, 1997). Using Bell's work as a starting point, Darryl Barthé moves the history of New Orleans' Creole community forward, suggesting that the process of 'becoming American' for them occurred due to encounters with Anglo-American modernism in the form of voluntary associations and social sodalities. That process also occurred in both public and parochial schools, where Creole linguistic distinctiveness faded over the twentieth century because of 'English-only' education. Barthé argues that despite the fact of ethnic repression, the transition from Creole identity to American identity was largely voluntary as Creoles embraced the economic opportunities afforded to them through learning English, not the least of which was the ability to emigrate from Louisiana to other states. Indeed, 'becoming American' entailed Creoles adopting a distinctly American language of race and caste, passing as white people or, in an act of indigenous and Francophone erasure, as black people. Before that, they existed in between color lines that recognized them as a group separate from Europeans, Africans, and Amerindians, even though they often shared kinship ties to people from all of those groups. Scholars such as Rebecca Scott, Gwendolyn Midlo Hall, and Caryn Cossé Bell have done much in the last twenty-five years to investigate the role of Louisiana Creoles in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, yet none has dedicated extensive study to the role of Creoles after the Civil War. Barthé's study picks up where these scholars left off by analyzing the role that family ties, institutional associations, the erosion of linguistic identity through English-only education, and the American racialized caste order (exemplified in the legal regime of Jim Crow), played in shaping Creole identity in the period between the end of the nineteenth century and the end of World War II. 'Becoming American in Creole New Orleans, 1896-1949' is a critical examination of the interplay of Creolization and Americanization, social processes that often worked in opposition to one another throughout the nineteenth century, and that would continue to frame the limits of Creole identity and cultural expression in New Orleans until the mid-twentieth century. As such, it offers intersectional engagement with subjects that have historically fallen under the purview of sociology, anthropology, and critical theory, including discourses on whiteness, métissage/métisajé, and critical mixed-race theory"

Voodoo and Power : The Politics of Religion in New Orleans, 1881-1940

    Niveau 2 - Histoire

Résumé : The racialized and exoticized cult of Voodoo occupies a central place in the popular image of the Crescent City. But as Kodi A. Roberts argues in Voodoo and Power, the religion was not a monolithic tradition handed down from African ancestors to their American-born descendants. Instead, a much more complicated patchwork of influences created New Orleans Voodoo, allowing it to move across boundaries of race, class, and gender. By employing late nineteenth and early twentieth-century first-hand accounts of Voodoo practitioners and their rituals, Roberts provides a nuanced understanding of who practiced Voodoo and why. Voodoo in New Orleans, a mélange of religion, entrepreneurship, and business networks, stretched across the color line in intriguing ways. Roberts’s analysis demonstrates that what united professional practitioners, or “workers,” with those who sought their services was not a racially uniform folk culture, but rather the power and influence that Voodoo promised. Recognizing that social immobility proved a common barrier for their patrons, workers claimed that their rituals could overcome racial and gendered disadvantages and create new opportunities for their clients. Voodoo rituals and institutions also drew inspiration from the surrounding milieu, including the privations of the Great Depression, the city’s complex racial history, and the free-market economy. Money, employment, and business became central concerns for the religion’s practitioners: to validate their work, some began operating from recently organized “Spiritual Churches,” entities that were tax exempt and thus legitimate in the eyes of the state of Louisiana. Practitioners even leveraged local figures like the mythohistoric Marie Laveau for spiritual purposes and entrepreneurial gain. All the while, they contributed to the cultural legacy that fueled New Orleans’s tourist industry and drew visitors and their money to the Crescent City. - Note de l'éditeur

    Niveau 2 - Histoire

Résumé : Disease is thought to be a great leveler of humanity, but in antebellum New Orleans acquiring immunity from the scourge of yellow fever magnified the brutal inequities of slave-powered capitalism. Antebellum New Orleans sat at the heart of America’s slave and cotton kingdoms. It was also where yellow fever epidemics killed as many as 150,000 people during the nineteenth century. With little understanding of mosquito-borne viruses—and meager public health infrastructure—a person’s only protection against the scourge was to “get acclimated” by surviving the disease. About half of those who contracted yellow fever died. Repeated epidemics bolstered New Orleans’s strict racial hierarchy by introducing another hierarchy, what Kathryn Olivarius terms “immunocapital.” As this highly original analysis shows, white survivors could leverage their immunity as evidence that they had paid their biological dues and could then pursue economic and political advancement. For enslaved Blacks, the story was different. Immunity protected them from yellow fever, but as embodied capital, they saw the social and monetary value of their acclimation accrue to their white owners. Whereas immunity conferred opportunity and privilege on whites, it relegated enslaved people to the most grueling labor. The question of good health—who has it, who doesn’t, and why—is always in part political. Necropolis shows how powerful nineteenth-century white Orleanians—all allegedly immune—pushed this politics to the extreme. They constructed a society that capitalized mortal risk and equated perceived immunity with creditworthiness and reliability. Instead of trying to curb yellow fever through sanitation or quarantines, immune white Orleanians took advantage of the chaos disease caused. Immunological discrimination therefore became one more form of bias in a society premised on inequality, one more channel by which capital disciplined and divided the population.
