Cajun Breakdown

by Ryan Andre Brasseaux

2009 · Oxford University Press

Cajun Breakdown examines the social and cultural roots of Cajun music's development through 1950. The idiom's synthetic nature suggests an extensive and intensive dialogue with popular culture that extinguishes the myth that Cajuns were an insular folk group astray in the American South.
