Throughout the nineteenth century, Creole women were consistently idealized, exoticized, and demonized in literature and culture on both sides of the Atlantic. While the term Creole is still hotly contested even today, in its most basic sense it refers to people raised in colonial territories and originally meant someone of foreign ancestry who was locally born. Creole women were frequently depicted as blurring boundaries of race and nationalism, while they subverted traditional gender roles. Focusing on the representation of Creoles in Jamaica and Louisiana, this dissertation investigates both the constraints and categories used to define the Creole woman and conducts case studies on the representation of her as a monstrous, sexualized, being. It uses an analysis of literature, art, newspaper articles, and periodicals to construct an interdisciplinary assemblage of sources that highlight inequity in the treatment of Creole women. This study illuminates what is meant by "Creole" in nineteenth-century culture, how Creoles were categorized, and why Louisiana and Jamaica are so ripe for comparison. It also examines the lives of two women, one fictional, Harriet Brandt, and one real, Delphine Lalaurie, to see how the ideals and stereotypes about Creoles were used in their depiction. Ultimately, this dissertation argues that transatlantic representations of Creole women were a flash point for nineteenth century ideas and anxieties about the female body, sexuality, race, gender, and national and imperial identity."--Abstract.

Download and read online ebook Becoming Like Creoles write by Curtiss Paul DeYoung. This book was released on 2019-08-06. Becoming Like Creoles available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The French Caribbean authors of In Praise of Creoleness (�loge de la Cr‚olit‚) exclaim, "Neither Europeans, nor Africans, nor Asians, we proclaim ourselves to be Creoles." Creoleness, therefore, becomes a metaphor for humanity in all its diversity. Unique among the many images useful for discussing diversity, Creoleness is formed within a history of injustice, oppression, and empire. Creolization offers a way of envisioning a future through the interplay between cultural diversity, injustice and oppression, and intersectionality. People of faith must embrace such metaphors and practices to be relevant and effective for ministry in the 21st century. Using biblical exposition in conversation with present day Creole metaphors and cultural research, Becoming Like Creoles seeks to awaken and prepare followers of Jesus to live and minister in a world where injustice is real and cultural diversity is rapidly increasing. This book will equip ministry readers to embrace a Creole process, becoming culturally competent and social justice focused, whether they are emerging from a history of injustice or they are heirs of privilege.

Over the course of more than three centuries, the diverse communities of Louisiana have engaged in creative living practices to forge a vibrant, multifaceted, and fully developed Creole culture. Against the backdrop of ongoing anti-Blackness and Indigenous erasure that has sought to undermine this rich culture, Louisiana Creoles have found transformative ways to uphold solidarity, kinship, and continuity, retaking Louisiana Creole agency as a post-contact Afro-Indigenous culture. Engaging themes as varied as foodways, queer identity, health, historical trauma, language revitalization, and diaspora, Louisiana Creole Peoplehood explores vital ways a specific Afro-Indigenous community asserts agency while promoting cultural sustainability, communal dialogue, and community reciprocity. With interviews, essays, and autobiographic contributions from community members and scholars, Louisiana Creole Peoplehood tracks the sacred interweaving of land and identity alongside the legacies and genealogies of Creole resistance to bring into focus the Afro-Indigenous people written out of settler governmental policy. In doing so, this collection intervenes against the erasure of Creole Indigeneity to foreground Black/Indian cultural sustainability, agency, and self-determination.
