	In the middle and on the margin: Greater French Louisiana in history and in professional historical memory
		Louisiana also shared with Canada a strong orientation to a core area, one which was located essentially at or near the chief points of entry to the territory, especially that near the coast.
		Louisiana, like the once-French Canada, therefore belong fully to another regime and world, a status that has long led to a sort of ideological rejection of them, and of continental French North America as a whole, as being ineligible to occupy a part of the French collective memory.
		That is, in the recent treatment of Greater French Louisiana differences have come to exist on the very perception of it as a territory, socio-political order, or society (in racial terms or otherwise), and of its relation to the larger world of which it was a part.
