TheriotAbout the BookAs soon as American forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in June 1944, military commanders called for “Frenchies” to serve as interpreters with the local population. These young Cajun soldiers from Louisiana, like their Acadian ancestors, had grown up speaking French as their first language. In fact, Cajuns represented the largest group of French-speaking Americans in the military, and their linguistic abilities proved invaluable to operations around the world. Ironically, this same generation experienced discrimination in a state-sanctioned English-only school system that sought to “Americanize” them. Often punished for speaking French at school, many young Cajuns grew up ashamed of their language and culture. Yet, during the Second World War, when these same Cajuns arrived in the francophone territories of North Africa and Europe, where their bilingual abilities became a vital resource, Frenchies bridged the language gap. What emerged from this unique wartime experience was a long-lost pride in Cajun heritage, creating a profound impact on their sense of identity. About the AuthorJason P. Theriot, PhD, is an author, historian, and consultant. He earned a doctorate in history from the University of Houston and a degree in journalism from Louisiana State University. Additionally, he is a former Energy Policy Fellow at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Dr. Theriot specializes in family memoirs, biographies, and company histories. Praise for Frenchie“As Theriot shows, Cajun GIs who used their oft-derided French-speaking skills to help win World War II experienced a cultural awakening—one that presaged the rise of the Cajun pride and empowerment movement that began on a larger scale some two decades later.”—Shane K. Bernard, PhD, writer and historian“Jason Theriot’s well-written book, Frenchie, is told with dignity and a deep cultural understanding largely due to his own upbringing. His expansive narrative on the firsthand experiences of the last surviving members of this group, as well as the spirit of hundreds of other French-speaking Cajun soldiers who died before them, is the most important account to date.”—Pat Mire, filmmaker, Mon Cher Camarade“June 6, 2024, marks the eightieth anniversary of the D-Day landings of World War II. There can be no better time than this anniversary for Theriot’s twenty-five-year study uncovering the many wartime roles French-speaking Cajuns played, serving in diverse positions from interpreters in North Africa to secret agents behind enemy lines with the French Resistance.”—Warren Perrin, lawyer and author of Acadie Then and Now: A People’s History© 2024 University of Louisiana at Lafayette PressPaperback | 6\" x 9\" | ISBN: 978-1-959569-10-7", "product_order": "0", "product_icon": "\/media\/commerce_products\/2542\/Frenchie.jpg", "product_brand_id": "1", "product_price": "25.0000", "product_price_ex_tax": 22.727272727273, "product_price_local_tax": "25.0000", "product_created_datetime": "2025-03-20 20:35:14", "product_code": null, "product_barcode": null, "product_is_unorderable": "0", "product_is_shipping_required": "0", "product_inventory_level": "16", "product_uri": "\/products\/af-frenchie-the-story-of-the-french-speaking-cajuns-of-world-war-ii\/" }, { "product_id": "2531", "product_title": "Jeffery Broussard & The Nighttime Syndicate : Madeline EP", "product_content": "Vinyl Record 7 inchesJeffrey Broussard and the Nighttime Syndicate first single from their upcoming albim, “Madeline” is a hot-off-the-griddle fresh interpretation of a goldie oldie featuring TBC Brass Band veterans Edward Jackson, Paul Chéenne, and David McKissick. “Madeline” is one of Broussard’s all-time hits, and it carries a special resonance for the zydeco frontman.

Advancing to the more recent past you will be swept up in the local tradition of the South Louisiana “Traiteur” or healer, who administered to the restorative health needs of the community with secret prayers passed from one traiteur to another, knowledge of medicinal plants, or the use of both. Yes, traiteurs exist today and still offer prayers and comfort when they are asked and several have been interviewed for this book. The second part of the book introduces you to medicinal plants that contain a myriad of healing properties that are still relieving symptoms and discomfort today. All of the plants are identified by their common and Latin names. Additionally, their descriptions, growing practices, and interesting folklore bring them to life.

En 1755, Les Britanniques ont brutalement déporté des milliers d’Acadiens qui se sont retrouvés sans foyer. Au cours des 60 années qui ont suivi, ces exilés ont erré de port en port, le long de l’océan Atlantique et du golfe du Mexique, pour enfin trouver refuge sur de nouvelles terres et s’y installer. Ce terrible bouleversement, loin d’écraser à jamais les Acadiens, a plutôt ensemencé de nombreuses Acadies nouvelles, dont la culture fascinante fleurit encore aujourd’hui.Ce recueil regroupe 65 articles sur les Acadiens et les Cadiens qui vivent aujourd’hui dans les États américains de la Louisiane, du Texas et du Maine, dans les provinces canadiennes du Nouveau-Brunswick, de la Nouvelle-Écosse, de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard, de Terre-Neuve et du Québec, et dans les régions françaises du Poitou, de Belle-Île-en-Mer et de Saint-Pierre et Miquelon.

In 1605, French colonists settled Acadie (today Nova Scotia, Canada) and for the next 150 years developed a strong and unique Acadian culture. In 1755, the British conducted forced deportations of the Acadians rendering thousands homeless, and for the next 60 years these exiles migrated to seaports along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, eventually settling in new lands. This tragic upheaval did not succeed in extinguishing the Acadians, but instead planted the seeds of many new Acadies, where today their fascinating culture still thrives.This collection includes 65 articles on the Acadians and Cajuns living today in the American states of Louisiana, Texas and Maine, in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Quebec, and in the French regions of Poitou, Belle-Ile-en-Mer, and St-Pierre et Miquelon. This book takes an international perspective and provides the readers with new insights on the past, present, and future of the Acadian descendants from all the Acadies of the world.", "product_order": "0", "product_icon": "\/media\/commerce_products\/2143\/Acadie-Then-and-Now.png", "product_brand_id": "1", "product_price": "30.0000", "product_price_ex_tax": 27.272727272727, "product_price_local_tax": "30.0000", "product_created_datetime": "2023-05-11 18:56:48", "product_code": null, "product_barcode": null, "product_is_unorderable": "0", "product_is_shipping_required": "0", "product_inventory_level": "1", "product_uri": "\/products\/af-acadie-then-and-now\/" }, { "product_id": "2075", "product_title": "Gumbo des Mots Louisianais", "product_content": "Box set of cards produced by CODOFIL", "product_order": "0", "product_icon": "\/media\/commerce_products\/2075\/62feb0464df8610f77a94960_immersionLA-Thumbnails-07-p-500.png", "product_brand_id": "1", "product_price": "15.0000", "product_price_ex_tax": 13.636363636364, "product_price_local_tax": "15.0000", "product_created_datetime": "2023-04-03 23:26:52", "product_code": null, "product_barcode": null, "product_is_unorderable": "0", "product_is_shipping_required": "0", "product_inventory_level": "2", "product_uri": "\/products\/af-gumbo-des-mots-louisianais\/" }, { "product_id": "2074", "product_title": "Études Francophones Vol. 35", "product_content": "Now back in print as of Volume 35!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.About Études Francophones, A refereed scholarly journal devoted to Francophone StudiesFondée en 1986 par l’Université de Louisiane à Lafayette, la revue Études Francophones (anciennement Revue Francophone de Louisiane, puis Revue Francophone) a pour objectif de promouvoir et de diffuser la réflexion critique dans les domaines de la littérature, des arts (notamment visuels), et de la culture des pays francophones.

En effet, c’est l’anglais, c’est le créole, c’est l’espagnol qui hantent la poésie de Rabalais comme ces langues hantent le français de tout Louisianais. Chez Rabalais, ce n’est ni le cri de ceux qui souffrent, ni les gémissements nostalgiques de ce qui a disparu. Non, c’est le cri de ce qui naît, un français unique à voies multiples. Au moyen de cette langue purement louisianaise, Rabalais fait penser à un Prévert des bayous universels où chaque individu se renferme dans son propre château de boue et espère – ou attend – ou évite – son salut personnel.", "product_order": "0", "product_icon": "\/media\/commerce_products\/2073\/hantage-lg2.jpg", "product_brand_id": "1", "product_price": "25.0000", "product_price_ex_tax": 22.727272727273, "product_price_local_tax": "25.0000", "product_created_datetime": "2023-04-03 23:22:07", "product_code": "", "product_barcode": "", "product_is_unorderable": "0", "product_is_shipping_required": "0", "product_inventory_level": "5", "product_uri": "\/products\/af-le-hantage-un-ouvrage-de-souvenance\/" }, { "product_id": "2071", "product_title": "Finding Cajun DVD", "product_content": "Delving into the complex question, Dr. Rabalais presents a critical and historically informed perspective on the origin and evolution of Cajun identity and the complex issues being debated today.
