DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*\n\nThe process through which Louisiana Creole peopl
 e in New Orleans were compelled to imagine themselves\, and their communit
 y\, as “American\,” involved the imposition of an ethno-linguistic\, a
 nd racial\, social order. That social order\, above all else\, posited Eng
 lish as a Herrenvolk tongue\, marginalizing Louisiana Créolophones as non
 -white\, and compelling white Creoles to abandon French in return for the 
 promise of upward mobility.\n\n*About the speaker*\n\nDarryl G Barthe Jr i
 s a Louisiana Creole of métis (Mi’kmaq\, Caddo\, Chitimacha)\, Cajun\, 
 and African American heritage. An historian\, he received his MA from the 
 University of New Orleans and his PhD from the University of Sussex in Bri
 ghton. He is currently a lecturer in American Studies at the Universiteit 
 van Amsterdam.
