Book excerpt: New Orleans has long been associated with Mardi Gras, but in Alabama, we don't care to play second fiddle. Mobilians proudly claim to have established the country's first Mardi Gras traditions dating back to the 1830s. Mardi Gras here is a month-long, glitter-and-gold-leaf, gumbo-fixin', celebrity-impersonating, waiting-in-the-wings, spotlit, alcohol-swamped, gimme-sumthin-Mister, drum-rolling, siren-wailing, shoulder-to-shoulder blowout. In Bon Temps: Alabama's Mardi Gras, photographers Jeff and Meggan Haller bring Alabama's premier cultural tradition to the world. Mobile's Mardi Gras is a celebration of excess preceding the fasting and penitence of Lent. It culminates on Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday and the start of the Lenten season. Today's Mardi Gras is an economic bonanza accommodating hundreds of thousands of revelers over three weeks of parades, balls, and partying. With dozens of mystic societies, traditions run deep. It's so old that you may think you've seen it all, but in Jeff and Meggan Haller's collection of sometimes shocking, sometimes silly, always vivid images, and essays by Eleanor Inge Baker, we're confident you'll discover something new. Casebound in linen with foil-embossed cover and marbled endsheets, Bon Temps: Alabama's Mardi Gras honors Mobile's tradition of over-the-top frivolity. As the slogan goes, Mobile's a city born to celebrate.
Download or read book Cajun Country Guide written by Macon Fry and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 1999-02-28 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's just nowhere else but South Louisiana to find real knee-slapping, crowd-hooting Zydeco music. Even the big-city chefs can't cook up a Cajun meal the way they do at the roadside restaurants deep in the bayous of Acadiana. Likewise, no other guide matches the amount of in-depth information presented in Cajun Country Guide. It's a study of Cajuns that tells visitors how to find the sights, sounds, and flavors of one of America's most culturally unique regions. Take a vacation to a part of our own country that, in some places, didn't even speak English until nearly fifty years ago. While modern technology is weeding out some of the one-of-a-kind qualities of this subculture, not all of them are gone, or even hard to find, if you know how to hunt for them. And there are no better hunters than authors Macon Fry and Julie Posner. With the handy maps, reviews, and recommendations packed into the Cajun Country Guide, a trip to the bayous won't leave one feeling like a visitor, but more like a native who has come back home.
