How digging into this particular ethnicity, time, and place shapes how one considers Kerouac&#039;s late-life ideas about race, his relationship with religion, or the stylings of his writing. Blaise considers Kerouac alongside other fiction writers (William Faulkner, Theodore Dreiser, William Saroyan, Thomas Wolfe)  that, to Blaise, have engaged their fiction in similar conversations with both sentimentality and American diversity. From the author of &quot;I Had a Father: A Post-Modern Autobiography&quot; and &quot;Lunar Attractions.&quot; Also published in &quot;Selected Essays&quot; by Clark Blaise (Emeryville, Ontario: Biblioasis, 2008).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From a separate article written by Robert C. Carroll: &quot;A recent New York Times article, written by a Franco-American reporter, E. J. Dionne, Jr., cites uncontestable opinion as well as social research testifying to the obvious decline in the use of French outside the home in New England. While the young people may have lost or may never have acquired French as a household language, many still understand it; and growing numbers, acknowledging it as a cultural tool, want it back. Dionne does not explain in his article, however, that the loss of spoken French is not only the sign of assimilation but more precisely the result of the relatively recent assimilation induced by the decline of the parochial school system that gave instruction in the language of the home.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Letter to the editor on the subject of Paul LePage, Maine&#039;s 2010 governor-elect, being the state&#039;s first Franco-American governor. Some minor disputes have risen over this point, with historians looking back to the nineteenth century to find one Alonzo Garcelon, a resident of Lewiston and of part French (France) heritage, serving as legislature-elected governor for about 1 year&#039;s time. The letter here, and the dispute more largely, seeks to segregate Garcelon&#039;s ethnicity from Paul LePage&#039;s - the latter containing the historicity of the bulk of Maine&#039;s French-Canadian descendents - though both are definably Franco-American.]]></dcterms:description>
