Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of a late 18th-century Canary Islander settlement in the Barataria Unit of Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve, Louisiana. Following Spain's acquisition of Louisiana from France, the Spanish Crown sought to bolster the colony's defenses and promote Hispanization by recruiting Canary Islanders as soldier-settlers. The book meticulously examines six archaeological sites, revealing intriguing insights into the daily lives and challenges faced by these early colonists. Through meticulous analysis of recovered artifacts, including ceramics, glass, architectural debris, and aboriginal ceramics, the author reconstructs the settlement's spatial organization, economic activities, and interactions with indigenous populations. The book sheds light on the broader historical context of Spanish colonialism in Louisiana and the Canary Islanders' unique role in shaping the region's cultural landscape. It explores themes of immigration, adaptation, and resilience as the settlers navigated the challenges of a new environment and ultimately contributed to the development of a distinctive community in Barataria.
