From the author: &quot;Grade four students in an English school and a French school in a Quebec community were examined for differences in value orientations. Although, in fact, the two schools are very near each other, the children reflect the distance in cultural orientations towards the future, their goals and interpersonal relations.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From the authors: &quot;By examining the persistent effect of white ethnicity on political behavior, we seek to broaden our understanding of ethnic political development and voting. We begin our inspection by discussing the past role and prominence of white ethnicity. We then juxtapose these historic assessments of ethnic persistence and decline with the patterns observable by our empirical analysis of the effect of white ethnicity on presidential politics in over 1500 towns in six New England states.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Data supporting the trend there toward &quot;subtractive bilingualism,&quot; where the use of one language is preferred at the expense of another. From the author: &quot;The study, carried out in two school districts of the St John Valley in the state of Maine in the Unites States, compares three subgroups of francophones and anglophones on measures of the strength of their network of linguistic contacts in French and English, their communicative and cognitive-academic linguistic proficiency in these languages, their vitality beliefs concerning the francophone and anglophone communities, the strength of their ethnolinguistic identities and their degree of use of French and English in various social domains. The results, which are interpreted within the framework of a macroscopic model of the determinants of additive and subtractive bilingualism, are very conclusive in showing that bilingualism for these Franco-American students is strongly subtractive.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Discussion of &quot;border culture&quot; as a product of both the divisions and the transnational cultural and political relationships apparent in societies that share a geopolitical boundary. Exploration of &quot;borderlands theory&quot; as a means for considering the origins, functions, and development of national borders in a globalizing world. Specific focus on the boundary between the United States and Canada, on what the authors call &quot;the multiple layers of border&quot; - political, social, economic, legal, cultural -  and how they are woven organically though communities on each side of the dividing boundary. How borders shape and help us to think about human culture. From the authors: &quot;In the process of globalization it is border culture that ultimately sustains linkages, assures continuity and maintains prosperity between bounded states. In this essay we explore how border culture works, and how the conceptualization of border culture advances our understanding of how borders work. Our approach is to establish a place for the consideration of culture in the more extensive debates about border theory through a focus on the Canada-U.S. border, and how this border advances our knowledge of border culture and border theory.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Mutational Analyses of Tay-Sachs Disease : Studies on Tay-Sachs Carriers of French Canadian Background Living in New England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Paper in biochemistry and molecular biology describing certain genetic mutations found in French Canadians and Franco Americans, exploring if or how they relate to the science of Tay-Sachs disease, a genetic disorder causing rapid mental and physical deterioration. From the authors: &quot;Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) results from mutations in HEXA that cause Hex A deficiency. Heterozygote-screening programs have been applied in groups with an increased TSD incidence, such as Ashkenazi Jews and French Canadians in Quebec. These programs are complicated by benign mutations that cause apparent Hex A deficiency but not TSD. Benign mutations account for only approximately 2% of Jewish and approximately 36% of non-Jewish enzyme-defined carriers. A carrier frequency of 1/53 (n = 1,434) was found in an ongoing prospective analysis of persons of French Canadian background living in New England by using an enzyme-based assay. DNA from enzyme-defined carriers from this population was analyzed to determine the molecular basis of Hex A deficiency. Samples (36) were tested for common mutations, and samples that were negative for these were screened for uncommon or novel mutations by using SSCP analysis. Exons showing mobility shifts were sequenced, and most mutations were confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion. Known disease-causing mutations were found in nine samples (four had a 7.6-kb deletion found in 80% of French Canadian TSD alleles), and known benign mutations were found in four samples. Seven novel changes were identified, including G748A in four samples. The molecular basis of Hex A deficiency in this carrier population differs from that of French Canadian TSD patients. Screening centers should be aware of the presence of benign mutations among U.S. French Canadians or Franco-Americans.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Some perspectives on North American, French Canadian Catholic female religious at the beginning of the 20th century. How studying these nuns in New England adds to an understanding about French Canadian ethnic identity and its real function among New England parishes.  Challenges to a specific French Canadian, Franco American ethnoreligious discourse historically dominated by male priests. Case study of les Petites Franciscaines de Marie (PFM), or the Little Franciscans of Mary, whose religious order was established in Worcester, Massachusetts. From the author: &quot;[T]his essay will consider how shifting our focus from male church officials to female religious can alter our understanding of the relationship between religious and ethnic identities&quot; (516). &quot;Did female religious side with male priests in defending their ethnic turf against bishops whom they perceived as hostile and assimilationist? Alternatively, could nuns not have cared less about connections between their religious identity and their ethnic identity? Or did they understand the relationship between the two in some other way completely?&quot; (518)]]></dcterms:description>

The Alliance&#039;s engagement with different Franco American communities, especially those in New England. From the author: &quot;By giving voice to different constituencies within the French diasporic family, and by creating spaces for cultural exchange, the Alliance has helped to define the contours of New World Francophone identities&quot; (abstract). Includes the segments, &quot;French republicanism at work,&quot; &quot;The Alliance Francaise and Franco-America,&quot; and &quot;The Alliance Francaise and la francophonie.&quot; From the author: &quot;The Alliance Française is in many respects an intermediary between French America&#039;s past and present&quot; (240).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay exploring the 1930s Federal Writers&#039; Project interview of Indian Island, Maine, resident and canoe maker, Henry Mitchell, transcribed by Old Town native, Robert Grady. Arguments favoring the particularly modern quality of the dually-authored interview, as compared to outside depictions of Native Americans in the local Maine literatures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. How early 20th-century Old Town business and local government perpetuated the construction of stereotyped and antiquated Penobscot cultural categories and descriptions - aesthetically, linguistically, or in terms of work and leisure. How the literary output of the Federal Writers&#039; Project played into this sort of identity construction on a more diverse, national scale, and in what ways singular FWP interactions like those between Grady and Mitchell challenged both the national project and the local cultural categories it sometimes reinforced. What the Mitchell/Grady interview owes to the relationship out of which it was born, Grady&#039;s other interviews mostly conducted with Franco Americans in Old Town.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Article on the dynamics of class and ethnicity as related to the labor of women and children in the northeastern United States around the turn of the century. Statistical relationship between family and economy in urban, industrialized America during a period of heavy immigration. Emphasis on child labor as varying by type of family, ethnicity, and the relevant legal structures of different locales. A gradual replacement of children&#039;s wage labor by the employment of women. Statistics based on U.S. census data from 1880, 1900, and 1920. From the author: &quot;The battle over child labor fought in the United States at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries pitted emerging understandings about children&#039;s well-being against those of the rest of the family....This article explores the variations in children&#039;s and mothers&#039; labor in three very different settings: Pittsburgh, Fall River, and Baltimore between 1880 and 1920. It finds that child labor and education legislation resulted in a decrease in children&#039;s employment and increased the likelihood that mothers would take paid jobs.&quot;]]></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[A chronicling of movement from English and French Canada to the United States in the first thirty years of the twentieth century. Focused less on American community building than on patterns and means of human migration visible in government records from across the length of the Canadian-American border. An attempt at integrating the often-overlooked Anglo Canadian migration with that of French Canadians, and measuring Canadian emigration both within and beyond boundaries of ethnicity. Observations on instances of &quot;remigration&quot; - the movement to the United States of recent immigrants to Canada - in the time period of concern. From the book jacket: &quot; &#039;Crossing the 49th Parallel&#039; is the first book to encompass that entire, continent-wide population shift, bringing Canadian migration to the center of both Canadian and U.S. history.&quot; &quot;Bruno Ramirez researches the contents of previously unused border records to bring to light the wide variety of local contexts and historical circumstances that led Canadian men, women, and children to cross the border and become key actors in the U.S. economy and society.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

New England as a region both &quot;historically grounded and culturally invented&quot; (5). From the author: &quot;Though my analysis acknowledges, indeed traces, Puritan-Yankee continuities in regional culture, it emphasizes how tradition remains, or, rather, becomes, tradition by a continual process of invention and reinvention&quot; (5).

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Brief essay that examines the focus terms &quot;ethnicity&quot; and &quot;assimilation&quot; through a case study of the Franco American population of Worcester, Massachusetts, before 1914. McClymer tells how the French Canadian immigrant ethnic group negotiated the persistence of elements of its culture amid trends and forces of Americanization. Study is largely comprised of commentary on the statements of Massachusetts Commissioner of Statistics of Labor, Carroll D. Wright.  From the author: &quot;I will argue that there was a symbiotic relationship between ethnicity and assimilation for white immigrants to the United States in the decades between the Civil War and World War I. It is this symbiosis, between social processes usually considered to be contraries, that defines the &#039;paradox&#039; of ethnicity in the United States&quot; (16).

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Cajunization of French Louisiana : Forging a Regional Identity]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Historical transformation of the term &quot;Cajun&quot; in Louisiana - its meaning, scope, and usage, as well as its blurring of the state&#039;s diversity of French lineages. Influence of the term &quot;Cajun&quot; on the cultural awareness of the Louisiana French, and the impact of Louisiana French cultures on the region&#039;s geography. State case-study exploration that provides definitional and territorial figures regarding the term &quot;Cajun,&quot; and the changes in these figures and their geography over time.  From the author: &quot;French Louisiana is the only remnant of France&#039;s vast Mississippi Valley empire and its only effectively settled region in the eighteenth century. It remains today one of the most distinctive culture regions of the United States. However, perception of French Louisiana does not reflect its reality. The French population of Louisiana is very diversified in terms of its origins. Despite this diversity, French Louisiana is now usually associated exclusively with Cajuns, a word which until recently was considered derogatory. The beautification of the Cajun identity began to take place in the late 1960s. It was followed by a gradual Cajunization of the white French Louisiana identities and of the regional ethnic territory. However, this process of Cajunization remains incomplete because black Creoles and French-speaking Indians remain unintegrated. Hence, the apparent ethnic homogeneity of French Louisiana, viewed from the outside, contrasts sharply with the cultural variety of its communities.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Social Consequences of Writing Louisiana French]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The status of French language in Louisiana over time - diversity, amalgamation, decay, revival, and current modes of expression. How the written French word in the context of Louisiana French language revival has taken on special political and social meaning. The written word as a sight for examining the connections between &quot;social and linguistic change&quot; in Louisiana. From the author: &quot;Studies on language shift often refer to the demise of the ousted variety by detailing various stages of language decay and extinction. Problematic for these accounts are well-documented cases of intervening social phenomena, such as language revival movements, which can alter in some way the stages of decline. French Louisiana&#039;s situation illustrates language shift interacting with a strong revival movement. In the wake of the revival and in spite of continued shift, another trend is apparent -- the writing of Louisiana French. Whereas shift clearly represents a stage of language decline, the creation of a written code functions as a key ingredient for language maintenance.

More broadly, I argue that codeswitching must be understood in terms of individual communicative repertoires and community speech economies, particularly as these are tied to a political economic analysis of the relationship between the availability and use of linguistic varieties, on the one hand, and the production and distribution of symbolic and material resources on the other.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Overview of the French Canadian presence in the Great Lakes Region - from the forests of the seventeenth century to the industrial landscapes of the nineteenth and twentieth. Migration waves and community developments in this region, particularly in Michigan, over hundreds of years. From Michigan State University Press: &quot;As the first European settlers in Michigan, the French Canadians left an indelible mark on the place names and early settlement patterns of the Great Lakes State. Because of its importance in the fur trade, many French Canadians migrated to Michigan, settling primarily along the Detroit- Illinois trade route, and throughout the fur trade avenues of the Straits of Mackinac. When the British conquered New France in 1763, most Europeans in Michigan were Francophones. John DuLong explores the history and influence of these early French Canadians, and traces, as well, the successive 19th- and 20th-century waves of industrial migration from Quebec, creating new communities outside the old fur trade routes of their ancestors.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The General Textile Strike of 1934 : From Maine to Alabama]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An account of 1934&#039;s nationwide textile strike in the United States. The trend of unionization that preceded the strike, and the strike&#039;s lasting impact on labor and industry in the United States. A specific focus on the impact of this strike in the industrial pockets of the New England states - often overshadowed by the arguably more widespread effect of labor unrest on life and industry in the American South.  Includes a case study of Burlington, North Carolina, and the textile mills of Burlington Industries. From University of Missouri Press: &quot;In January 1933, the United Textile Workers of America was in danger of collapse. Its membership was no larger than 15,000; its attempts to organize southern workers had failed disastrously; and it was constantly under attack from rival organizations. Yet, barely eighteen months later, with 300,000 dues-paying members, with newly established or revived branches covering southern cotton textile workers, as well as northern woolen and worsted workers, silk and jacquard weavers, dyers and finishers, even rayon workers, and with locals in 208 cities, towns, and mill villages, UTW was about to embark on what one historian has termed &#039;the greatest single industrial conflict in the history of American labor.&#039; &#039;The General Textile Strike of 1934&#039; is the story of that conflict....In &#039;The General Textile Strike of 1934,&#039; John Salmond tells everyone&#039;s story. Looking at the strike from a national and an industrywide perspective, Salmond explains why workers were willing to risk protesting and describes the differences and similarities between southern and northern workers. Setting the strike within a New Deal context and focusing on its impact on the future of labor relations in the industry and on the lives of those who participated in it, &#039;The General Textile Strike of 1934&#039; fills an important gap in American labor history.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From an unknown lobsterman&#039;s wife to the famous Nearings of Harborside, from northern woods to coastal towns, the perceptive interviews of Bill Pohl and the outstanding photographs of Abbie Sewall present a remarkable State, and its even more remarkable residents, in honest, close-up portraits that captivate as well as entertain and inform.
