The World That Made New Orleans: From Spanish Silver to Congo Square by Ned Sublette

5.0

One of the most interesting books I've read this year! What a wonderful insight into New Orleans' influences, especially concerning the culture and music in the way it resembles the caribbean culture. and it isn't only about music and french language but also about slavery and a self awareness the author has about his own culture regarding the subject that made me appreciate it much more. Definetely a book I would recommend to anyone looking to know more about the city's mixed cultural background.
