The Acoustics of Roux: Acculturation, Migration and Identity among Cajun and Hispanic populations along the Gulf Coast
Eric Patrick will introduce some of the ethnographic research that has gone into the creation of his current animated film production “The Acoustics of Roux.” The film traces the criminalization of language, migration patterns, acculturation, and the construction of identity among blue collar populations in SW Louisiana and SE Texas.
