Book excerpt: "The Cajun culture of south Louisiana has got to be one of the most highly publicized, most often distorted subjects in the American media today. The manner in which some of the media have portrayed the Cajuns not only borders on slandering a people with a proud heritage, but also raises serious questions about the conscientiousness of a substantial segment of the American media. To read the articles in some of the travel magazines and metropolitan newspapers, you'd swear that all the Cajun people do is eat, drink and dance. You'd think that the Cajun country is an exotic land made up mostly of swanps and sleepy little towns with docile, unambitious people who don't care about much except the saturday night dance and their next can of beer. But nothing could be further from the truth!"--Page 4 of cover.
