About Volume 35:
Although the popular image of French language in Louisiana has been one in steep decline since the late nineteenth century, recent decades have revealed dynamic cultural production in literature, education, and media, as well as an opening to the French-speaking world. This diversity of identifications and the manner in which they overlap, combine, and remain distinct, is an integral part of the landscape of contemporary French Louisiana. More broadly, this issue seeks to question the way in which the singularity of French Louisiana and regionalist claims are situated in a quest for legitimacy and for national and international recognition. This special issue brings together articles that explore and examine the plurality of francophone identities in Louisiana, their contemporary reconfigurations, as well as their place in the United States and the world.
