Recenzii
Brasseaux forges revelatory new terrain in the study of Cajun music...[He] demonstrates an impressive and vast familiarity of recorded period music produced from inside and outside of Louisiana.
Though Cajun music has been depicted as a Louisiana oddity, it was, by definition, international from the start. Ryan Brasseaux places Cajun music in the mainstream of American music, where it belongs. The folkloric myth of purity and isolation dissolves before his historical contextualization of the synchronicity of Cajun life and art with national and global trends. Cajun music changed over time and with the times. Its trans-Atlantic, French, Canadian, and southern roots lapped and twined into an American art form. The music becomes all the more original, adaptive, and brilliant when heard through Brasseaux's riveting depiction.
In Cajun Breakdown, Ryan Brasseaux eloquently traces the history of Cajun people and their music from their arrival in Louisiana in 1764 to the present. His fine book firmly establishes Cajun music as a central part of mainstream American culture.
Brasseaux's Cajun Breakdown is a lucid and compelling account of the survival of a people and their music against all odds. It's hard to imagine there being a better book on the history of Cajun music.
A noteworthy achievement...A well-informed discographic discussion that emphasizes cultural adaptation, the book will bring needed attention to Cajun music and, perhaps more importantly, to the study of music as a viable means to understand the societies that produce and consume it.
An important addition to the study of Cajun music...Brasseaux breaks new ground and upsets the status quo, particularly in his zeal to reclaim Cajun Swing as a genre worthy of study and appreciation. This thoughtful, passionately worded monograph belongs in the pantheon of books by earlier south Louisiana music researchers...Brasseaux's study is highly recommended for students of Cajun music and culture as well as those interested in regional and vernacular music in general.
[A] wonderful examination of Cajun music.
