Just down the road and a world away, discover the Islenos!

Follow author and cultural historian Sara Ann Harris as she sets out to keep alive one of the best-preserved immigrant cultures in the United States. Through the eyes of a keen observer, Harris relates her dialog on the Isleno cultural traditions centered around the dance hall, including Spanish Louisiana foods, the flavors of Spanish wines, the Isleno dialect, and the decimas, or Spanish Louisiana folksongs.

In this painstakingly researched narrative, the dance halls of the Islenos are filled with sprightly characters and speckled with reminiscences of the heyday of the dance halls of Delacroix, known simply as the Island. The rich and multilayered stories of the dancers and their community portray the proud vestiges of the Isleno tradition, and Harris's descriptions of the dance halls offer a fascinating glimpse of the cultural identity of a vanishing people, forming a cornerstone of an ancient heritage now preserved forever in these pages.
