Abstract: "Photographs of Acadiana, known colloquially as Cajun country, taken 1973-74, when Cajun culture was on the brink of change."-- "In 1973 and '74, two photography graduate students spent more than six months documenting the southern Louisiana region known as Acadiana, as well as its coastal outposts to the east. The exhibition Cajun Document: Acadiana 1973-74, featuring images by Douglas Baz and Charles H. Traub never before gathered as a comprehensive exhibition, visits Louisiana towns from Welsh to Erath, Mamou to Golden Meadow, capturing everyday life in living rooms and dance halls, on fishing boats, and at rural Mardi Gras festivities, as well as a sweeping view of the region's industries and geography. The scenes Baz and Traub preserved comprise a relic of a time and place integral to the Louisiana story." -- Publisher's description
