AB  - The concept of Cajun identity is a major topic of concern in this essay. Tentchoff explores the various ramifications of the problem, attempting to answer in the process such questions as 'who is a Cajun?', and 'what does it mean to be a Cajun?' One general meaning of the word 'Cajun' is a native who is a French speaker, but this is also true of the Creole and Louisiana French populations as well. In an attempt at clarification Tentchoff proceeds to a detailed analysis of Cajun French and French Creole as they are used by native speakers, illustrating their similarities and differences as defining variables in ethnic identification.
