The Canary Islanders, or Isle os, of Louisiana, like some of the state's other ethnic groups, have received little scholarly attention. Although they are a people who have remained largely unknown both inside and outside of Louisiana, the Isle os constitute a sizable portion of the state's present Spanish-surname population. Utilizing a wide range of source materials, from Spanish colonial documents to oral interviews, Gilbert C. Din's The Canary Islanders of Louisiana provides the first book-length study of the Isle os and a definitive history of their presence in the state.

The few thousand Canary Islanders brought to Louisiana by Spanish governors in the eighteenth century came from a group of islands that, although ostensibly Spanish, had evolved its own distinctive culture and folkways. Settled in frontier areas considered strategic for the defense of the Louisiana colony, the Isle os suffered deprivation, neglect, and eventually abandonment. Living for the most part in remote back-country and delta communities, the Isle os remained isolated from their French and American neighbors. In the twentieth century, pressures to assimilate with the mainstream of Louisiana society have threatened their culture with extinction, though a few Canarians still retain much of their Isle o heritage.

Gilbert C. Din's study of the Isle os covers the entire range of their association with Louisiana. He begins with a brief survey of Canarian history and folkways and concludes with a discussion of the likely ethnic future of the increasingly assimilated Isle o descendants. Din provides a detailed history of the Isle o migration and colonial settlement; post-colonial community development; economic, social, educational, and political patterns; and the course of Isle o assimilation with the general Louisiana population. Offering his own skillfully argued answers to long-standing debates about early Isle o settlements, Din also corrects a number of factual errors on the part of previous historians who did not have access to the same range of archival sources.

The Canary Islanders of Louisiana is a strong piece of historical scholarship. It makes an original and much-needed contribution to the history of a people, of Louisiana, and of the American South.

Im a dental assistant so I got the bag with teeth ✨🦷 I have been carrying a dollar general tote bag for work to carry all my stuff. So this is a major upgrade for my work bag! It’s so spacious with lots of pockets. The material feels thick and durable also. Has purse straps and a shoulder strap so you can carry it different ways.

Overstuffer Approved
Color: B23- Nurse Black With Leopard Embroidery, Size: Medium
I love this bag. At first I didn’t think it would work for me because of the size and feel of the material but it’s actually pretty sturdy. The outside pockets hold my cell phone, beats earphone case, charger, and car keys perfectly. I carry my stethoscope, thermometer, O2 spot checker, etc, notebook, book, my purse, lotion, and wallet inside. The water bottle pocket on the side is deep and snug enough to fit a ninja travel cup. I bought the smaller size and as an overstuffer, it’s spacious & the zipper is flexible so it covers items that may stick out from the top a little. Great bag for nurses!

Very spacious
Color: A29- Nurse Tool, Size: Large
I was looking for a spacious bag to carry all of my school supplies and this one is perfect. It’s able to fit both of my large school books, a 5 subject notebook, multiple pocket folder, notecards box, pencil case and my laptop in an interior padded compartment. The padding is a little thin but none the less I didn’t realize it came with one so that was a bonus. It has 3 pockets inside & 3 deep pocket outside on each side of the bag plus the 2 mesh pockets. As you can see the mesh pocket fits my 40 oz tumbler. With all of my items this bag weighs 24lbs and so far so good the straps feel pretty sturdy/durable.

No shoulder strap despite D rings for same on bag.
Color: C11- Generic Green, Size: Medium
The bag is nice and roomy. Internal and external pockets too. I give the product 4 stars due to the bag having D rings for a shoulder strap but no shoulder strap is included.
