Review of The Roux in the Gumbo by Kim Robinson
After a short dedication to her grandmother, who was the inspiration for this book, Robinson carries us back to the Antebellum South and recounts her familial narrative of tenacity and growth. She traces the family history through Gisselle (whose salvation and development were nothing short of miraculous), through several fortunes and loss of fortunes before, during and after the Civil War. She describes violent and inhumane acts by the KKK foisted upon the non-whites in Louisiana, at the time. Inevitably, the family will leave to reestablish itself in California, and a new chapter begins. Robinson gives a riveting, emotional and occasionally raucous accounting of events. Her characters can be honorable, charming, humorous, vindictive or treacherous...or a combination of these traits. She helps us understand the historical, moral , social and class structures and traditions of French, Indians and Black Americans, including systems of Hoodoo and Placage. By the time of "Mother", the moniker by which everyone addressed Robinson's grandmother, the family claimed victory in survival and endurance. This book is the opening salvo of that survival story. Stay tuned and excited for more!
