Afro-Creole Poetry in French from Louisiana's Radical Civil War-Era Newspapers: A Bilingual Edition
As the issue of slavery edged the United States toward Civil War, the close-knit, influential, politically progressive community of French-speaking free people of color in New Orleans founded a newspaper: L Union: mémorial politique, littéraire et progressiste appeared in 1862, succeeded by La Tribune de la Nouvelle-Orléans in 1864. Amid the papers prose, more than twenty activist writers (mostly Creole gens de couleur) fought for their rights, conversed with each other, and spoke from their hearts in verse forms modeled on French Romantic poetry. The original French poems appear here alongside Clint Bruce s sensitive English translations, mindful of meaning, meter, and sound. A comprehensive introduction, biographies of the poets, and extensive annotations immerse readers in Civil War era Louisiana. In his research for the volume, Bruce unearthed crucial issues of La Tribune long thought lost and discovered the extent of a poetic hoax undetected for nearly 150 years. In the music of the poetry, a network of close relationships emerges as the poets together celebrate military victories, narrate tragedies, call out political betrayals, grieve lost friends and family members, and encourage each other to maintain hope in the possibility of a more just society.
