Abstract:

Black trail-riding clubs have their roots in Creole culture that formed in South Louisiana in the eighteenth century. Today, trail rides are an opportunity for generations of people to gather, celebrate, and ride horseback. The riders form a distinctive yet little-known subculture in Southwest Louisiana, one that exists in stark contrast to most depictions of cowboys and serves as a reminder that Black equestrian culture stems from a time when the Louisiana Territory was in fact the American West. Black riders across the country have received greater prominence with the rise of Black Lives Matter and have taken the reins of a symbol long associated with independence and power.

摘要：

黑色越野俱乐部起源于十八世纪在南路易斯安那州形成的克里奥尔文化。如今，越野骑行已成为世代相聚，庆祝和骑马的良机。骑手形成了路易斯安那西南地区一种独特但鲜为人知的亚文化，这种文化与大多数牛仔形象形成鲜明对比，并提醒人们，黑色马术文化源于路易斯安那领地实际上是美国西部的时代。随着“黑人生活问题”的兴起，全国各地的黑人骑手得到了更大的重视，并掌握了长期以来与独立和权力相关联的象征符号。
