A chapter of Louisiana history that tends to be forgotten however, is when the area fell to Spanish control in the late 1700s. Coaxed by promises of new opportunity, thousands of Canary Islanders of Spanish descent relocated to Louisiana, where they established four settlements. Generations of Isle os, that is the ethnic group of descendants from the Canary Islands who have intermarried with other communities, have overcome the challenges of an evolving American society, as well as the devastation of storms that have ripped through their land. Through it all, the Isle os have preserved their unique heritage, traditions and culture for more than two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samantha Perez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 160949024X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609490249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e History Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.50d","brand":"Samantha Perez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938750300415,"sku":"9781609490249","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_79567d36-f3bb-4411-a49a-125085503a1b.jpg?v=1681437513","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-islenos-of-louisiana-samantha-perez-9781609490249","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
