CREOLE DAYS (SC 8.5x11)

More about the book

Set against the backdrop of antebellum New Orleans, the stories explore the complex interactions among diverse cultural groups, including French, Spanish, African, Native American, and Caribbean Creoles. The narratives highlight the tensions that arose after the Louisiana Purchase, as Creoles of color faced challenges from Anglo-Americans who sought to impose a biracial identity. George Washington Cable's realistic portrayals of Creole life and his progressive views on racism and mixed-race families mark him as a significant figure in Southern literature.
