This article presents information on the book "Revolution, Romanticism, and the Afro-Creole Protest Tradition in Louisiana, 1718-1868," by Caryn Cosse Bell. It is informed that for almost a century and a half, Louisiana stood at the crossroads of Atlantic radicalism, the project to reformulate social relations on an egalitarian basis. Caryn Cosse Bell reconstructs the intellectual and social history of this radical tradition with intelligence, wit and deep insight into the generational linkages that connected the Africans who, along with Native Americans, tried to overthrow slavery in the I720s with the African-Americans who, as part of the Union army, succeeded in the 1860s.
