    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[French Canadians and Franco Americans in the context of the American Civil War. Includes enlistment figures in relation to immigration, as well as population figures around 1860. Considers the short history surrounding the complicated reality of new immigrants fighting in a war for their new country. From the preface: &quot;This booklet was written in an effort to better acquaint Franco-Americans with their outstanding contribution to American life. Indeed, it is partly up to Canadian historians to reveal this heritage to French Canada&#039;s often neglected and overlooked diaspora. For too long, Franco-Americans have remained the &#039;forgotten Americans.&#039; This study seeks to help remedy this unfortunate oversight. &#039;Franco-Americans in the Civil War Era&#039; is the first booklet in a bilingual series called &#039;Études sur l&#039;histoire des relations canado-américaines/Studies in the History of Canadian-American Relations&#039; that explores various aspects of the historical relationship between Canada and the United States. The series&#039; goal is to provide the reader with a more holistic understanding of Canadian and American history.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From the authors: &quot;The research reported here was designed to investigate grade, sex, and ethnic background differences in self-concept of 301 kindergarten and first grade children from Anglo, Franco-American, and mixed parentage families. Higher self-concept scores were found on three subscales of the Self-Appraisal Inventory (SAI) for children with two Anglo parents and lowest scores for children of mixed ethnic parentage. No sex differences were found and first graders scored higher than kindergarteners on the General Scale. Implications for research and education are discussed.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Large emphasis on the communal value of work, or how ideas about work are situated in the grammar of Acadian American dialogue. From YBK Publishers: &quot; &#039;Talking Acadian: Communication, Work and Culture&#039; provides a look into the lives of the French-speaking American Acadians, and particularly those who left eastern Canada to settle in Masschusetts in the 1960s. This book captures their stories about family life and their values, mores and morals. It also traces the ways that they use communication to develop and maintain their culture.What the reader learns is that to talk about Acadians you must talk about work. This group gives us new insights into the world of work - a central feature of living for the Acadians and crucial to their self-definition.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Quebec : A Historical Geography]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From UBC Press: &quot;In this richly documented work, Serge Courville tells the geographical history of Quebec, from the appearance of the first human groups through to the present day. This detailed and erudite book maps the major stages of Quebec&#039;s collective development, providing a geographical record of the many social relationships that over time created a sense of place. Landscape, Courville shows, is the keeper of memory, the record of successive changes, and a witness to the genesis of the new. Places that were once agricultural, then left to waste and ruin, are today revivified by tourism. Areas that now house office buildings were long ago open playgrounds where children ruled. Drawing on vast research, Courville shows how, in spite of the turbulence Quebec often endures  or perhaps because of it  the land itself may be seen as an important participant in the history of its peoples.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A pictorial history of Manchester, New Hampshire created from images featured on aged postcards. Compiled by the author of several other texts on Manchester and Franco Americans in New England, Robert B. Perreault. From Arcadia Publishing: &quot;Here, for the first time exclusively through the medium of vintage postcards, the people, streets, businesses, institutions, and recreational areas of bygone Manchester return to life. Manchester presents images of the world&#039;s largest producer of textiles, which attracted a patchwork of cultures from many lands. It tells where the first telephone conversation by a U.S. president occurred. It evokes the city that colorful individuals such as a nearly lifelong hermit, the smallest married couple in the world, a famous comic strip cartoonist, a best-selling novelist, the founders of cosmetics and fast-food empires, and a comedic superstar all called home.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[English translation of Yves Roby&#039;s &quot;Les Franco-Américains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre: Reêves et réalités&quot; - a comprehensive historical text on French Canada&#039;s immigrants to New England and their development of a Franco American identity. Covers the period from 1840 (or near the beginning of en masse Canadian emigration) to 1976. One of the most exhaustive texts on Franco Americans to date, Roby&#039;s work focuses its attention largely on &quot;la survivance&quot; and the prevailing, evolving attitudes toward it in New England. Roby writes, &quot;This work will attempt to describe the conceptions that the French-Canadian emigrants in New England and their descendants have of themselves.&quot;  From McGill-Queen&#039;s University Press: &quot;Between 1840 and 1930, approximately 900,000 people left Quebec for the United States, with the number of French-Canadian colonies in New England&#039;s industrial cities growing rapidly. The first generation of immigrants, who considered themselves French Canadians living in the United States, lived outside of American society as much as possible and sought to recreate their lost motherland. Their children&#039;s situation was different, however, since they did not see themselves as a community creating a distinct society on American soil....  What became of these millions of immigrant descendants?... Roby seeks to explain the genesis and evolution of this group and raises insightful questions regarding not only the Franco-Americans but also the integration of ethnocultural groups into Canadian society and the future of North American Francophonies.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Toutefois, pour ceux qui ont choisi de s&#039;installer aux États-Unis d&#039;abord et avant tout pour améliorer leur sort et celui de leurs enfants, l&#039;anglicisation et l&#039;assimilation apparaissent non comme un échec, mais comme une réussite.

How have countries impeded or facilitated people leaving? How have they perceived and regulated those who leave? What relations do they seek to maintain with their citizens abroad and why? &#039;Citizenship and Those Who Leave&#039; reverses the immigration perspective to examine how nations define themselves not just through entry but through exit as well.&quot; Translation of French original (2006).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Working-Class Americanism : The Politics of Labor in a Textile City, 1914-1960]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[45 years of labor history from the textile mills of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. The relationships between the World Wars, American nationalism, and the attitudes of working-class, largely immigrant New Englanders in the first half of the twentieth century. Republished in 2002 by Princeton University Press with a new preface from the author. From Princeton University Press: &quot;In this classic interpretation of the 1930s rise of industrial unionism, Gary Gerstle challenges the popular historical notion that American workers&#039; embrace of &#039;Americanism&#039; and other patriotic sentiments in the post-World War I years indicated their fundamental political conservatism. He argues that Americanism was a complex, even contradictory, language of nationalism that lent itself to a wide variety of ideological constructions in the years between World War I and the onset of the Cold War. Using the rich and textured material left behind by New England&#039;s most powerful textile union--the Independent Textile Union of Woonsocket, Rhode Island--Gerstle uncovers for the first time a more varied and more radical working-class discourse.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Study of the off-hours lives of working-class people in the industrial city of Worcester, Massachusetts. Workers&#039; hobbies, their hangouts, and the impact of their leisure on the workplace and politics in the immigration era. A fresh social history of working-class people not confined to the work space. From Cambridge University Press: &quot;In the first comprehensive study of American working-class recreation, Professor Rosenzweig takes us to the saloons, the ethnic and church picnics, the parks and playgrounds, the amusement parks, and the movie houses where industrial workers spent their leisure hours. Focusing on the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, he describes the profound changes that popular leisure underwent. Explaining what these pastimes and amusements tell us about the nature of working-class culture and class relations in this era, he demonstrates that in order fully to understand the working class experience it is necessary to explore the realm of leisure. For what workers did in the corner saloon, the neighborhood park, the fraternal lodge hall, the amusement park, and the nickelodeon had a good deal of bearing on what happened inside the factories, the union halls, and the voting booths of America&#039;s industrial communities.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A comparison of the historical situations and social positions of French Canadian and African American women. An examination of their family and community roles, cultural stereotypes, and social and politicals achievement levels. Situates the origins of each population on the North American continent - one in servitude in seventeenth-century New France, the other in forced immigration and slavery in the United States of the same time. Focuses on the phenomenon of a &quot;double-oppression&quot; - or the sum of one&#039;s ethnic minority and gender statuses - and what is required for the doubly oppressed to be &quot;liberated.&quot; Acknowledgement of gendered differences in the separate gains made by each minority group.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Family Time and Industrial Time : The Relationship Between the Family and Work in a New England Industrial Community]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Study of the complex relationship between family dynamics and demanding mill work. Takes as its focus the industrial city of Manchester, New Hampshire, its vast mill complexes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the worker families that inhabited its communities and spun its wheels of industrial production. A theoretical look at family in American social history. A discussion of oral history as historical form and methodology. Originally published by Cambridge University Press. From University Press of America: &quot;The myth that industrialization broke down traditional family ties has long pervaded American society. Professor Hareven, a leading social historian, dispels this myth and illustrates how the family survived and became an active force in the modern factory. In this book, Hareven examines the multiple roles that the workers&#039; families fulfilled in facilitating their adaptation to the pressures of changing work patterns and new modes of life in an industrial city. She reconstructs family and work patterns among immigrants as well as native textile laborers over two generations during a crucial period in the transformation of American industry from the late nineteenth century....A case study based on what was the world&#039;s largest textile plant - the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in Manchester, New Hampshire - the book integrates a wide array of documentary evidence with oral testimony. It examines the lives of real people - the way they acted, the way they perceived their lives, and the kinds of decisions they made when pacing their lives in relation to the demands of the industrial system.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The shells of its awesome mills still extend for two miles along the Merrimack River in Manchester, New Hampshire. Never before have we known so vividly what it was like to live a life in the closed world of a single gigantic industrial entity, from the first moment a child set foot in a mill carrying his father&#039;s or mother&#039;s lunchpail to the moment he retired or was laid off 60 years later.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A collection of 14 essays on the history of Chelmsford and Lowell, Massachusetts, from pre-incorporation to industrialization, into the middle 20th century. As the title suggests, an emphasis on the prevalence of mill work and immigrants cultures very much responsible for shaping life in this, one of New England&#039;s most productive industrialized cities. From the editor: &quot;&#039;Cotton Was King&#039; traces Lowell&#039;s history from its Indian beginnings through two centuries of the history of the town of Chelmsford and one hundred and fifty years of urban industrial history, to the present day. The history of Lowell is, in microcosm, the history of America&#039;s Industrial Revolution. The city&#039;s history is a case study in the evolution of the corporate system, the labor movement, and the role women played in the labor force. The cotton mills of Lowell provided the first opportunity for American women to leave their farms and families and earn an independent living. The city with its enormous factories and canals also served as a magnet for the first waves of immigrants. By the mid-nineteenth century the city felt the first stirrings of both the labor and feminist movements, as Lowell entrepreneurs expanded the factory system.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Transcription of an 1881 &quot;informal hearing&quot; at the Massachusetts legislature regarding the publication of the annual report of the Massachusetts Labor Statistics Bureau in which the French Canadians are famously referred to as &quot;the Chinese of the eastern states.&quot; The report argued on the point of a ten-hour workday in Massachusetts and denigrated the French Canadian immigrant population there for being an alleged hindrance to it. The hearing here contains local French Canadian reactions to the report, as well as responses from the author of the report, the Chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who compiled the book at hand. Discussions about processes of immigration, repatriation to Canada, Americanization, naturalization, French Canadian desire for education, and the desire to rid reported French Canadian stereotypes of their public weight. Letters from local leaders expressing support for the French Canadian populations of their communities by attesting to their public political involvement and admirable work habits. All comments driven by the Bureau&#039;s reported assumption that French Canadians would resist a mandate limiting the workday to ten hours. Concludes in saying, &quot;we have proved by overwhelming evidence that the statements contained in this report are groundless. We have not proved that they are malicious, but we deduce from the fact that they are false, that they have been presented to you from a malicious spirit or in a spirit which is just as sordid and despicable...&quot; (pp.84-85). Recognizes the report&#039;s flawed data collection methods, as well as flawed samplings in largely unrepresentative communities, and excuses the use of the famous racial remark as being of the economic parlance of the times.]]></dcterms:description>

A brief chronological survey. Includes remarks on turbulent relations between some American Church leaders favoring immigrant assimilation and some French Canadian immigrants resisting the Anglicization of their institutions. Gauges the accuracy of the truism among Franco Americans that there exists a connection between preserving the French language and maintaining one&#039;s Catholic faith. Acknowledges the transformations that take place in Franco American communities alongside specific legislative, academic, or ecclesiastical attitudes toward language use. Follows, through measures of Church activity, the phenomena of tightly knit Franco American communities beginning to disperse and dissolve in the twentieth century. As the title adds, also contains thoughts on the future of Franco American culture in New England as related to the decline of the French language, the decline in the number of Catholic priests, and the modern notion of American &quot;individuality&quot; that the author positions at the base of ethnic community dissolution.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Marie-Rose, Stigmatisée de Woonsocket&#039; : The Construction of a Franco-American Saint Cult, 1930-1955]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From a publication of the Canadian Catholic Historical Association. Essay that situates the early-twentieth-century &quot;mystic stigmatic&quot; figure of Marie-Rose Ferron in a Franco American religious history. Using Ferron&#039;s biography as measure, Kaell sees the fringe cult around her, as well as her failed canonization, in contrast with the popular saintly tradition of the Canadian Thérièse of Lisieux. Kaell teases out this and other comparisons between Franco and Québécois religiosity and nationalism using Ferron&#039;s life and history. From the author: &quot;First, this paper is an examination of how a hagiographer, Onésime Boyer, worked to create a saint cult that ultimately ended in failure. Second, and more importantly, this paper uses Boyer&#039;s construction of Rose&#039;s cult to provide a window into Franco-American Catholic culture that was incorporating wider trends, like &#039;victimhood,&#039; and anchoring itself firmly in an American milieu. Finally, this paper raises a number of questions for further study, urging more comprehensive analyses of Franco-American history and religion.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay that follows the Roman Catholic Dominican order from its French expatriation to Canada, to its subsequent immigration to New England. Explores how Dominican fathers and other Church leaders impacted the acculturation of French Canadian descendants in the Catholic parishes of Lewiston, Maine at the beginning of the twentieth century. Features Lewiston Catholics&#039; reactions to Dominican maneuvers, as well as inter-hierarchical disputes between bishops of the diocese of Portland, Maine and the clergy of Lewiston&#039;s national parishes. Emphasizes roles of Lewiston community members in shaping their own Catholic and Franco American identities apart from Church leadership, and the transformation of these roles into the latter half of the twentieth century.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay on the divisions of power and labor in industrialized American economies - more specifically, mill towns - as transformations of earlier forms of authority in America. Uses the thought-work of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, as well as the social critics and historians who have applied these thinkers&#039; theories to the historical present. From the author: &quot;The problem of power in nineteenth century mill towns rests on a conflict between employer absolutism and the democratic rights of the employees. The treatment of power in recent community studies has been inadequate. This is particularly true in works influenced by symbolic anthropology, where the problem is seen to have been resolved in a consensual value system. However, the persistence of conflict in strikes and disorder compels an examination of the mechanisms of domination, as well as legitimacy. To this end, the ideas of Marx and Weber offer more valuable guidance than those of Durkheim.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From University of Toronto Press: &quot;As a country with enormous economic, military, and cultural power, the United States can seem an overwhelming neighbour - one that demands consideration by politicians, thinkers, and cultural figures. Prejudice and Pride examines and compares how English and French Canadian intellectuals viewed American society from 1891 to 1945. Based on over five hundred texts drawn largely from the era&#039;s periodical literature, the study reveals that English and French Canadian intellectuals shared common preoccupations with the United States, though the English tended to emphasize political issues and the French cultural issues.... Significantly, the era&#039;s discourse regarding American life and the Canadian-American relationship was less an expression of nationalism or a reaction to US policy than it was about the expression of wider attitudes concerning modernity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Performance studies theory text. Maine Franco American case studies in a discussion of the methods and forms of storytelling. Written by two University of Maine professors. From Temple University Press: &quot;The authors ably guide readers through the complex world of performing narrative. Along the way they show the embodied contexts of storytelling, the material constraints on narrative performances, and the myriad ways storytelling orders information and tasks, constitutes meanings, and positions speaking subjects. Readers will also learn that narrative performance is consequential as well as pervasive, as storytelling opens up experience and identities to legitimization and critique. The authors&#039; multi-leveled model of strategy and tactics considers how relations of power in a system are produced, reproduced, and altered in performing narrative....The authors explain this strategic model through an extended discussion of family storytelling, using Franco Americans in Maine as their exemplar. They explore what stories families tell, how they tell them, and how storytelling creates family identities. Then, they show the range and reach of this strategic model by examining storytelling in diverse contexts: a breast cancer narrative, a weblog on the Internet, and an autobiographical performance on the public stage. Readers are left with a clear understanding of how and why the performance of narrative is the primary communicative practice shaping our lives today.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the members of the Vermont Advisory Committee: &quot;The report presents an historic overview of the French-Canadian presence in Vermont over the past 300 years, a discussion of the size of the State&#039;s Franco-American population, and the different definitions and techniques used in identifying Franco-Americans. In the chapter on Status, data are presented which demonstrate statistical disparities between Franco-Americans and the Anglo population in education and employment. Societal attitudes reflected in scholarly works and in fiction are surveyed as well.  Franco-Americans have been the victims of anti-Catholic, anti-foreign sentiment in the past, and of negative stereotyping in much of the 20th century.  To determine whether these attitudes result in actions (discrimination), which in turn result in the observed disparities, is a formidable process, requiring additional historical research and analyses of educational and employment practices. Through this report, the advisory committee hopes to identify directions for future study.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Manuel du Professeur pour introduire les études Franco-Américaines]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Freeman and Pelletier&#039;s self-proclaimed &quot;manuel&quot; (handbook) seeks to validate Franco-American Studies as a legitimate academic discipline, and to insert this discipline into the broader field of American Cultural Studies. In 284 pages, the authors suggest lesson plans for the construction of relevant curricula, particular topics of study on Franco-America, and a rationale for the inclusion of a body of Franco-American knowledge in the fabric of a social studies education for youth and adults alike. Acknowledging the plain lack of academic materials, Freeman and Pelletier not only offer an outline for students to create their own genealogies, but also encourage students to engage their Franco communities, to utilize old and build new living resources for multiculturalism in theory and practice. The handbook concludes with a bibliography of texts and an index of local people and places that might function as resources for Franco-American studies both in- and outside of the classroom. From the text:  &quot;This handbook was produced by the Canadian/Franco-American Studies Project of the University of Maine at Orono for the use of teachers in elementary and secondary schools and in adult education.  Its purpose is to achieve more widespread awareness and understanding of the Franco-American presence in New England by offering teaching plans and strategies for incorporating materials designed for that purpose into the regular courses of study within the humanities curriculum.We feel that the contributions of Franco-Americans to the development of their communities, their states, and their country has been one of the nation&#039;s best-kept secrets.  We also feel that exploring these areas can be a source of pride for members of the Franco-American communities and lead students of other backgrounds to a better understanding of our multi-ethnic society.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A history of immigration in the United States, its national impact, and the effects of American naturalization upon immigrant ethnic identity. From the cover: &quot;From the English settlers who founded the Jamestown colony to the recent refugees from Vietnam and Cuba, the history of American has always been tied to the fortunes of its immigrants. Thomas J. Archdeacon presents a fascinating account of the foreign peoples and cultures that for nearly four centuries have transformed America and, in the process, transformed themselves. Discussing Europeans and Asians, Africans and American Indians, he weaves their stories together, shows how they mingle and diverge, and relates their collective experience to the critical decisions we face in coping with the thousands of immigrants who continue to arrive yearly on our shores.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Du texte: &quot;Quand on parle de l&#039;apport français à  l&#039;histoire des États-Unis, on songe immédiatement à  La Fayette, surtout en cette période du bicentenaire de l&#039;Indépendance. On est peut-être porté à  oublier que la plus grande partie du territoire américain a d&#039;abord été française : découverte, cartographiée, colonisée à  partir de Montréal et de Québec. Ouvrage destiné au grand public, aux étudiants, aux éleves, &#039;Une Amérique française&#039; est une vase fresque illustrant la contribution que, depuis plus de 350 ans, des millions de coureurs de bois, voyageurs, missionaires, colons, commercants, ouvriers, intellectuels, venus, de France ou du Canada, ont apportée et apportent encore, par leurs qualités françaises, à  la civilisation des États-Unis. L&#039;auteur, Jacques-Donat Casanova, est français, mais il a vécu longtemps au Québec et parcouru l&#039;Amérique du nord. Il a déja publié avec Raymond Douville, &#039;La vie quotidienne en Nouvelle France&#039; et &#039;La vie quotidienne des Indiens au Canada.&#039;&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

She shows clearly that the working women who unionized and fought for equality were considered the &#039;worst sort&#039; because they challenged both economic and sexual hierarchies, providing alternative models for turn-of-the-century women.&quot; ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[History text on the later migrations of the French to Atlantic Canada, written by the Director of the French Institute at Assumption College in Worcester, Massachusetts. From Harvard University Press: &quot;In unprecedented detail, Leslie Choquette narrates the peopling of French Canada across the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the lesser known colonial phase of French migration. Drawing on French and Canadian archives, she carefully traces the precise origins of individual immigrants, describing them by gender, class, occupation, region, religion, age, and date of departure. Her archival work is impressive: of the more than 30,000 emigrants who embarked for Quebec and the Maritimes during the French Regime, nearly 16,000 are chronicled here....In considering the pattern of emigration in the context of migration history, Choquette shows that, in many ways, the movement toward Canada occurred as a by-product of other, perennial movements, such as the rural exodus or interurban labor migrations. Overall, emigrants to Canada belonged to an outwardly turned and mobile sector of French society, and their migration took place during a phase of vigorous Atlantic expansion. They crossed the ocean to establish a subsistence economy and peasant society, traces of which lingered on into the twentieth century. Because Choquette looks at the entire history of French migration to Canada--its social and economic aspects as well as its place in the larger history of migration--her work makes a remarkable contribution in the field of immigration history.&quot; <br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Of Place and Gender: Women in Maine History]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From UMaine Press: &quot;This volume of fourteen essays on Maine women&#039;s history fills a real need, helping to answer questions about what women were doing in local communities and highlighting their similarities and differences from women elsewhere. Maine women were sometimes in the forefront of change and sometimes lagged behind; most of the time they were preoccupied with the tasks of daily life, as were women in other parts of the world. However, the details of women&#039;s activities at home and in the community, like the context in which they were done, helps to set Maine women apart. The essays in this volume offer insight into a rich variety of Maine women, some famous and some ordinary, some intent on changing their lives and their society and others struggling to survive, some confined by family and work to farm or village and others able to travel the world. Taken together, their stories enrich our understanding of Maine, of women, and of history.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A photo-history of the cities of the Saco River Valley in southern Maine. A heavily researched and crafted exhibition of landscapes from colonization to contemporary times, &#039;The Cities on the Saco&#039; weaves a storytelling tapestry of Saco, Biddeford, and the Old Orchard regions that should be held dearly by their diverse coastal communities. From the text: &quot;Here are the many scenes which our ancestors saw but, equally important, the images (economic, social, political) which Saco, Biddeford, and Old Orchard became. Here one catches the beauty of stately mansions and churches as a counterpoint to some of the more squalid social and industrial conditions in which lower classes lived. The spirit of the times, whether rural in the early two centuries or urban during the past hundred years, may be found here, too.... Not only is this a collection of enormously insightful photographs, it is the first comprehensive local history in a hundred years...&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From University Press of New England: &quot;A classic history of New Hampshire&#039;s economic and political development, now updated for the twenty-first century....From fiercely ambitious and independent colonial towns to the media circus of the Presidential primary, from prosperous masting trade to high-tech industry, this book traces the colorful political and economic crosscurrents of New Hampshire&#039;s history....Both informative and entertaining, the book tells the story of the state&#039;s development from the first European settlements through the dawn of the twenty-first century. This new, updated edition addresses such topics as the Claremont school funding case; the impeachment of Justice Brock and the U.S. Supreme Court appointment of David Souter; and especially the boom and bust of the &#039;90s and early &#039;00s, including discussion of such major industries as Tyco and Cabletron and their role in the state&#039;s economy. The book also offers a timeline of important events and an updated bibliography....&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

A local labor history of two New England mill towns. From a review of by Donald H.

Contradicting historians who argue that upward mobility and ethnic competition prevented American coherent class solidarity, he finds much of it in both municipalities.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From University of Toronto Press: &quot;In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a local economy made up of settlers, loggers, and business people from Lower Canada, New Brunswick, and New England was established on the banks of the Upper St. John River....In &#039;Backwoods Consumers and Homespun Capitalists,&#039; Béatrice Craig examines and describes this economy from its origins in the native fur trade, the growth of exportable wheat, the selling of food to new settlers, and of ton timbre to Britain. Craig vividly portrays the role of wives who sold homespun fabric and clothing to farmers, loggers, and river drivers, helping to bolster the community. The construction of saw, grist, and carding mills, and the establishment of stores, boarding houses, and taverns are all viewed as steps in the development of what the author calls &#039;homespun capitalists.&#039;&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The importance of recognizing such patterns and morals for health and social service providers. Included in Occasional Paper Number Six, in a series produced by the Center for Research on Vermont, University of Vermont. Originally presented as, &quot;The French-Canadians of Vermont: Cultural Implications for Health and Social Services Providers,&quot; at a meeting sponsored by the University of Vermont Department of Psychology, November, 1981. From Woolfson: &quot;Though a number of Franco-Vermonters do not display visible trappings of their French-Canadian heritage, many still share, as do other ethnic groups, inherited cultural patterns and values. This paper examines some of these patterns and values with an eye to describing their importance for health and social services providers in particular. There has been considerable interest in the special social and cultural patterns of the French-Vermonters as an ethnic group, especially the roles that family members play in interviews and other health and social services contexts.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Pictorial history of the communities in and around the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company&#039;s mill complex in Manchester, New Hampshire. The rise and fall of Amoskeag, in photos. A volume in the broad-ranging &quot;Images of America&quot; series of books. Previously published under the title &quot;A World Within a World.&quot; From Arcadia Publishing: &quot;This fascinating and moving book brings to life the industrial and immigrant experience which gave birth to Manchester in the nineteenth century and continued to shape the city&#039;s destiny well into the twentieth century. More than a hundred years ago, thousands of immigrants from Europe and Canada were drawn to the mills of Manchester by the promise of a better life. In stirring photographs and text, &#039;Manchester: The Mill and the Immigrant Experience&#039; examines the aspirations, the struggles, and the everyday adventures of Manchester&#039;s immigrant families. Reaffirming the power of photography to move and inform us, &#039;Manchester: The Mills and the Immigrant Experience&#039; creates a vivid picture of life during nearly a century of rapid industrial change. We join the bustle of Elm and Hanover Streets in the 1880s, witness children working at the mighty Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, enter a Greek coffeehouse in the early 1900s, get caught up in the bitter labor strikes of the 1920s, and meet unusual local figures such as the Hermit of Mosquito Pond.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A history of New England women during industrialization, and the lifestyle differences among women of different economic classes.  From Thomas Dunne Books: &quot;This is a masterful, definitive, and eloquent look at the enormous cultural and economic impact on America of New England&#039;s textile mills. The author, an award-winning CBS producer, traces the history of American textile manufacturing back to the ingenuity of Francis Cabot Lodge. The early mills were an experiment in benevolent enlightened social responsibility on the part of the wealthy owners, who belonged to many of Boston&#039;s finest families. But the fledgling industry&#039;s ever-increasing profits were inextricably bound to the issues of slavery, immigration, and workers&#039; rights....William Moran brings a newsman&#039;s eye for the telling detail to this fascinating saga that is equally compelling when dealing with rags and when dealing with riches. In part a microcosm of America&#039;s social development during the period, &#039;The Belles of New England&#039; casts a new and finer light on this rich tapestry of vast wealth, greed, discrimination, and courage.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A history of the city of Lawrence, Massachusetts, as a site of mass industrialization, diverse immigration, and unique dynamics of class and ethnicity around the turn of the 20th century. From UNC Press: &quot;The violence and radicalism connected with the Industrial Workers of the World textile strike of 1912 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, left the popular impression that Lawrence was a slum-ridden city inhabited by un-American revolutionaries. &#039;Immigrant City&#039; is a study of Lawrence which reveals that the city was far different....The population of Lawrence was almost completely immigrant in nature; in 1910, 90 per cent of its people were either first or second generation Americans, and they represented nearly every nation in the world. The period covered by the book--1845 through 1921--is the great middle period of American immigration, which began with the Irish Famine and ended with the Quota Law of 1921. While &#039;Immigrant City&#039; concentrates on one American city, it reveals much about American immigration in general and demonstrates clearly that, in spite of the poverty that most immigrants fought, life for the foreign-born in America was not as grim as some writers have suggested.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Aside from the usual MA theses and Ph.d. dissertations - almost all of them stiffly written attempts to isolate academically &#039;workable&#039; and degree-granting minutia - there is very little in print for the students of language that attempts to explain how contemporary languages in America have been and continue to be affected by their rubbing of elbows....<br />
&#039;Mutt Contay Saw&#039; is about French and what has happened to it in New England. But it&#039;s also about English. It&#039;s entirely in English, even the French pronunciations are rendered in English. There&#039;s a brief history tracing the development of English.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Modern-Day Voyageur Family : Paddling the 3,000 Mile Fur Trade Canoe Route Across the U.S. and Canada]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;When Kevin and Ben Kent were ages seven and five, their parents conceived an exciting, enriching, and educational project for the family. As a team, they began paddling the 3,000 mile length of the mainline fur trade canoe route across the U.S. and Canada, retracing the steps of their French ancestors. This ancient native route, which consisted of an extensive series of rivers and lakes, stretched from Montreal to the Great Lakes to Ft. Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca, in northern Alberta. This was the primary highway on which most fur trade, military, and religious personnel had traveled and hauled cargo into and out of the interior regions of North America during the entire fur trade era. Successfully paddling this ancient water highway from end to end over a series of fifteen consecutive summer trips, the Kent family experienced daunting challenges and terrifying calamities, as well as innumerable thrills and a great deal of satisfaction. In the process, the members of the family also absorbed much geography and history, and, most importantly, developed an appreciation of their own inner strengths. This engrossing and thought-provoking account of the adventures of the family incorporates a considerable amount of fur trade history, in which their direct French ancestors participated from about 1618 to at least 1758. &#039;A Modern-Day Voyageur Family,&#039; written by one of the pre-eminent historians of the fur trade era, serves as both a source of inspiration and a guidebook for other families, couples, and individuals who wish to paddle all or portions of the historic route, or various other wilderness waterways. It also provides vicarious experiences and myriad lessons for those individuals whose venturing usually takes place in a safe reading chair on land. This work consists of a vivid adventure story, a how-to guide, and a primer on virtually all aspects of the French fur trade, all in one volume.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

De Septentrion: &quot;Yves Roby a consacré 30 ans de recherche et de réflexion à  ce sujet et nous trace un portrait éclairant sur le processus d&#039;évolution de l&#039;identité de ces émigrés et de leurs familles en sol américain.En effet, si les premiières vagues ont maintenu tant bien que mal leur héritage, s&#039;identifiant comme Canadiens français vivant aux ètats-Unis, il faut se demander ce qu&#039;il en est devenu des millions de leurs descendants aujourd&#039;hui appelés Franco-Américains ?

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A chronicle of centuries of labor in black and white photographs. Historical and modern perspectives on mills, industrial towns, and workers in New England from the earliest industrialization period to the 1970s. From the inside flap: &quot;The full force of American capitalism was first released through the creation, consolidation, and incredible profitability of the New England textile industry. It was along the energetic waterways of the Northeast that the Industrial Revolution cut its teeth, there that real manufacturing initially occurred, that goods, produced on native soil, were first distributed in substantial quantities. There, in short, that the modern corporation was conceived. This fascinating, generously illustrated and extensively documented study presents the full scope of that phenomenon by concentrating on its single most powerful and successful manifestation: the textile mill. This was America&#039;s first integrated history, so immense in its concentration that in 1832, of 106 manufacturing concerns in the United States with assets of over $100,000, a full 88 were listed as textile companies.... Dunwell&#039;s survey is divided into two sections. The first, replete with 250 photographs and sketches from a wide variety of sources, gives an historical overview, a concentrated history of the textile mill in New England from the early developments in native technology to the final abandonment of the region. The second examines the living remnants of the industry...Here he presents the people who are still working in the mills...&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Map of Mexico City Blues : Jack Kerouac as Poet]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Southern Illinois University Press: &quot;In this pioneering critical study of Jack Kerouacâ&#039;s book-length poem, &#039;Mexico City Blues&#039; a poetic parallel to the writerâ&#039;s fictional saga, the &#039;Duluoz Legend&#039; James T. Jones uses a rich and flexible neoformalist approach to argue his case for the importance of Kerouacâ&#039;s rarely studied poem....After a brief summary of Kerouacâ&#039;s poetic career, Jones embarks on a thorough reading of &#039;Mexico City Blues&#039; from several different perspectives: he first focuses on Kerouacâ&#039;s use of autobiography in the poem and then discusses how Kerouacâ&#039;s various trips to Mexico, his conversion to Buddhism, his theory of spontaneous poetics, and his attraction to blues and jazz influenced the theme, structure, and sound of Mexico City Blues....Jonesâ&#039;s multidimensional explication suggests the formal and thematic complexity of Kerouacâ&#039;s long poem and demonstrates the major contribution Mexico City Blues makes to postâ€“World War II American poetry and poetics.&quot; <br />

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Oxford University Press: &quot;The canon of French literature has undergone substantial transformation in recent years and francophone literature is now an increasingly important element in French literature courses. This study introduces the diverse literatures from the numerous French-speaking areas around the world, including Africa, French Canada, and both the Caribbean and Indian Ocean Creole islands, among others. Moving region by region, Jack details the ways in which the most important authors establish a post-colonial and linguistically and culturally unique literary tradition while they subvert--through rewriting, parody, and pastiche--the established French literary tradition. More importantly, she suggests a new critical approach for understanding these various French-speaking cultures and, consequently, the French culture which they recast and subvert.&quot; ]]></dcterms:description>

From the text: &quot;This essay intends to examine the ways in which the cultural experience of the predominantly immigrant working class might have distorted their view of their social conditions and impaired their ability to focus on the origins of their oppression. Consequently, working-class violence, rather than being directed at the manufacturer, was directed at the ranks of the unemployed ready to claim their jobs. In this way, the working class did not engage in aggressive violence to win a social revolution so much as it fought defensive struggles to protect its modest gains.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Waldron explores the impacts of immigration on French Canadian norms of gender, labor, and social practice. She uses the examples of Lewiston, Maine, and Worcester, Massachusetts, and the different economies therein to ultimately observe the impact of a certain migration on the traditions (oppressive or otherwise) of a people. From the text: &quot;My argument is twofold: on one hand, for male leaders in these migrant communities, perpetuating traditional ideas about men&#039;s and women&#039;s contributions to family and society was part of an effort to retain, on a communal level, their distinct identity as a Catholic people of French Canadian ancestry. In contrast, for female migrants, the decision to support traditional gender norms was a more complicated one; many migrant women and their American-born daughters advocated perpetuation of traditional Quebecois understandings of gender not only as a means of defining their place in American society, as Catholic women of French Canadian ancestry, but also to obtain and maintain the benefits and status within the home that these ideals afforded them in the United States.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay on women&#039;s labor in French Canadian immigrant communities in New England. Explores and qualifies the idea that, for women, migration could be equated with social and economic liberation. From the text: &quot;The ways in which these women and girls perceived the options available to them as migrants in New England cities, and took full advantage of them, suggest that for many Québécois migrant women in the decades around 1900, the United States indeed represented a land of opportunity and possibility&quot; (p. 56).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Analysis of the population, migration, and marriage patterns of Rawdon, Québec, as they relate to a growing percentage of predominantly French speakers in that region. From the author: &quot;This paper is an empirical examination of the processes by which a rural area of Québec originally colonised by anglophones has become increasingly francisised. While popular imagery associates French Canadian population growth in Québec with very large family sizes and with the outmigration of anglophones, no studies currently exist which attempt to measure the relative impact of each factor. In addition, other contributing demographic variables may be examined for their effects on population changes, notably the proportion of persons who marry, mortality statistics, age at marriage, and child-spacing.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Vermont and the Imaginative Geographies of American Whiteness]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The U.S. state of Vermont is often portrayed as a place where &#039;race&#039; is of little significance, yet notions of whiteness are central to how the state has been represented and represents itself. A critical analysis of historical and contemporary economies of representation examines how Vermont has been imagined as one of the last remaining spaces of authentic Yankee whiteness while more recently becoming an imagined homeland for particular brands of white liberal politics and social practice in the United States. Narratives of white Vermont identity have often explicitly drawn on oppositions to other forms of whiteness, particularly those associated with the U.S. South, in constructing an image of a comparatively racially benign Yankee whiteness. Recent right-wing discourses have explicitly attempted to construct Vermont whiteness as outside the American mainstream (not least through its discursive association with gay and lesbian sexualities), suggesting a need for geographical work on the (re)configuration of whiteness to reconsider where &#039;normal&#039; American whiteness is imagined to reside. The examination of the case of Vermont highlights the need for future geographical research to attend to continuities between various territorialized constructions of whiteness as well as contestations within whiteness.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The migration of one million French Canadians from Québec to the United States between 1840 and 1940 was different from the migrations of other ethnic groups. The proximity of Québec made possible the maintenance of intimate social and cultural relationships between emigrants and their homeland. Thousands of Franco-Americans were educated in the colleges classiques of French Canada, assuring an ideological conformity between elite groups on both sides of the border and delaying the Americanization of Franco-Americans for several decades.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author:&quot; &#039;Les Canadiens Français de la Nouvelle-Angleterre&#039; (1891) by the French Jesuit Edouard Hamon is representative of Quebec imperialist thought. Hamon envisioned a peaceful conquest of New England by a surplus French-Canadian population, capable of resisting Americanization, laboring in the mills, and farming the countryside. Hamon suggested bonds between established Quebec churches and churches in northern New England. He favored a sovereign nation formed out of Quebec and Franco-American New England. Hamon&#039;s work was warmly received by French Canadians and Franco-Americans, although it awakened nativist suspicion in the United States.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the authors: &quot;Contrary to the commonly held belief that following the British conquest, French Canadian society limited itself to a clearly defined geopolitical realm conceived as a stronghold into which a defeated people withdrew to build its future, Québécois civilization has been doggedly continental in scale. Events of recent years, including the successes and failures of the Quiet Revolution and the results of the 1980 referendum, lend credence to this view. Today Québec remains both of and apart from the North American continent, home to a web of kin that has been spun to even the most distant corners.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The increased participation of women in the paid labor force in the 20th-century United States has been marked by a transition from an era of &#039;working daughters&#039; to one of &#039;working mothers.&#039; Using data from a New England industrial community, I trace the connection between this transition and the growth and decline of the textile industry, the incorporation of immigrants into a hierarchical production process, and family strategies for allocating productive and reproductive labor. While the era of working daughters left the allocation of reproductive labor (housework and child care) intact, the wage work of recent immigrant mothers has had a more profound impact on families by reallocating some of &#039;women&#039;s work.&#039; Nevertheless, many families have continued to maintain an ideology that values the husband&#039;s authority, emphasizes respect for parents, and stresses differences between men and women, all of these in the face of considerable changes in actual behavior.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the authors: &quot;Virtually unique to the upper St. John Valley of Maine, the Madawaska twin barn is a large structure consisting of two parallel sections joined to form an &quot;H.&quot; Although the form has its origin in a restricted barn building tradition of nineteenth century Québec, oral history research and detailed survey suggest that the barn is not the product of direct diffusion. Rather it is a symbol of French Canadian culture adopted during the period between the 1880s and 1930s when French valley residents were eager to assert their &quot;Franco-American&quot; identity. The Madawaska twin barn displays some affinity to American barns in Aroostook County and particularly the Yankee symbol, the connecting barn. However, its appearance is also French Canadian. The distribution of the twin barn defines an area of French Canadian and American interaction which remains distinct.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From census data, it will be shown that two-thirds of Canada&#039;s population live in English dominated regions, within which minorities of all other languages are dwindling through assimilation, but that there is also a French Canada, within which it is the use of the English language that is declining. The two languages co-exist only within a narrow bilingual belt.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Function and impact of Maine Learning Results educational plan in elementary schools of rural Maine. Includes a segment on Walters School in the St. John Valley, and discusses its elementary French language program as it becomes incorporated in MLR methods. From the author: &quot;Many rural educators and researchers have not embraced standards-based reform warmly. Some are wary of standards driving out unique and locally responsive curriculum. Others cast standards as one more example of a reform largely geared toward urban and suburban schools but foisted on rural schools regardless of applicability. These arguments are mostly rhetorical. Few studies have looked at the effects ofstandards&#039; implementation on the classroom practices of rural educators. In this paper, I examine the impact ofa state standards-based reform, the Maine Learning Results, on curriculum and instruction in four rural schools. I focus on the impact that standards have on locally responsive curriculum in the schools. I suggest that state standards and locally responsive curriculum ultimately may not be as incompatible as many scholars and practitioners suggest.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[La genièse d&#039;une communauté canadienne-française en Nouvelle-Angleterre : Lewiston, Maine, 1800-1880]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Adapté d&#039;une plus longe forme (1988). D&#039;Erudit: &quot;Le présent article a pour sujet la genièse d&#039;une communauté canadienne-française en Nouvelle-Angleterre, celle de Lewiston, Maine, avant 1880. L&#039;auteur décrit d&#039;abord la localité à  la veille de l&#039;arrivée des premiers Canadiens français en I860, s&#039;attardant plus particuliièrement aux bouleversements causés par la Révolution industrielle, qui fit de Lewiston un des plus importants centres textiles des États-Unis. Il explique ensuite la nature des migrations canadiennes-françaises au 19e siiècle, et le rôle de premier plan qu&#039;y jouaient la famille et la parenté. De fait, la famille était la cellule de base de la communauté ethnique en formation. L&#039;économie familiale caractérisait les ménages nucléaires et se tissièrent entre ceux-ci et les manufactures de coton des liens étroits et complexes. La parenté aussi avait des fonctions économiques, sociales et psychologiques, facilitant l&#039;adaptation des migrants dans leur nouveau milieu, un milieu ù les conditions d&#039;existence étaient triès précaires. De cette masse de paysans devenu ouvriers émergea une petite-bourgeoisie composée d&#039;hommes d&#039;affaires, de professionnels et de prêtres. Ces hommes utilisièrent leur pouvoir pour intensifier le sentiment religieux de leurs coreligionnaires et pour tenter d&#039;instiller en eux l&#039;idéologie de la survivance culturelle. Certains prirent leur distance de la masse des migrants, alors que d&#039;autres, le curé et les professionnels notamment, travaillièrent à  la création d&#039;un réseau institutionnel centré sur la paroisse, contribuant ainsi thnique sur des fondations solides et à  transformer les migrants en immigrants.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[De Fahri et Frenette: &quot;Entre juillet 1917 et octobre 1918, Alma Drouin, jeune Franco-Américaine de Laconia, au New Hampshire, séjourne a` Montréal. Ce sont les perspectives de mobilité professionnelle offertes par la métropole du Canada qui l&#039;y ont attirée, ainsi que la vie trépidante qu&#039;elle y percevait. A`partir de sa correspondance et de son journal intime, nous avons tenté de saisir les représentations que se fait Alma de sa vie quotidienne à  Montréal et de comprendre comment cette grande ville fait partie de sa cartographie mentale, qui est plus vaste; Alma Drouin est en fait porteuse d&#039;une identité hybride et d&#039;une conscience transnationale, qui se manifeste notamment par sa participation à  un réseau épistolaire canado-américain. Tout comme son usage de la mobilité géographique à  des fins de mobilité sociale, le réseau épistolaire d&#039;Alma s&#039;inscrit dans une tradition migratoire occidentale et canadienne-francaise. Si elle se construit dans sa correspondance et son journal intime comme une jeune travailleuse autonome, Alma dépend néanmoins d&#039;un important réseau transfrontalier de parents, d&#039;amis et de connaissances.&quot; ]]></dcterms:description>

Although the modernization of Québec society and the redefinition of Franco-American ethnicity contributed initially to the disappearance of relations between the two, a post-Revolution Tranquille perspective brings new possibilities for interaction. Moreover, scrutiny of the experience of French Canadians on this continent opens the door to an understanding of Québec&#039;s identity based upon the Americanite of its culture.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Much of the hubbub surrounding this bill was created by its opponents who cited, among other things, its imposition on freedom of linguistic choice, or its strangulation of a parent&#039;s choice of the language in which one&#039;s child might be schooled. The author of this article used information gathered from English-speaking Québecers and English-language newspapers from the province. His ultimate argument is for the bill to be repealed, claiming, in the words of other opponents, that it is &quot;a repressive piece of legislation&quot; that pays scant attention to Québec&#039;s anglophone minorities.]]></dcterms:description>

From Bittermann, provided by Project MUSE: &quot;Backwoods Consumers and Homespun Capitalists examines the history of rural life in the Madawaska region of the Upper Saint John River Valley from early non-Indigenous settlement in the 1780s to the closing years of the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Thus, although the title suggests otherwise, it is a story that unfolds primarily within the history of British North America and the United States rather than the new Canadian nation-state. Although cast in large part as an exploration of questions raised by a literature concerning the presence or absence of capitalism in rural North America, Craig&#039;s study offers valuable insights to those who have little patience with the transition debate and who believe that wading into that quagmire simply generates more mud(dle).&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The author writes: &quot;I do my work now in the borderlands between social classes, between the university and the community, between heterosexual and homosexual, between educated speech and down-to-earth talk, between Franco-American and Québécois, between my family and the gay community.&quot; Reprinting of a presentation Bérubé gave at the 1992 Montreal colloquium, &quot;La Ville en Rose: Le Premier colloque Québécois d&#039;études lesbiennes et gaies.&quot; Also available in the anthology, &quot;Queerly Classed: Gay Men and Lesbians Write About Class&quot; (Boston: South End Press, 1997).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;Since the onset of la Revolution Tranquille more than 25 years ago, the province of Québec has established an ever-increasing international presence, alone and in cooperation with the Canadian federal government. Provincial authorities, with assertiveness and confidence, have worked to establish the province as the heartland of the French in North America and also to present the Québécois as representing a distinctive society. This study briefly traces the evolution of the Québécois&#039; adventurous nature and examines the various ways in which the province functions beyond its frontiers, especially within the academic milieu.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Article on the migrations of French Canadians in Central and Southern Maine to their precise places of departure in Québec. Includes maps that illustrate migration fields and indicate concentrations of Maine Franco Americans.  From the author: &quot;Birthplaces of French Canadian immigrants to six Maine cities during the period 1890-1925 were mapped from information in biographical summaries and naturalization documents....This study suggests that migration fields tend to persist through time, sometimes despite transportation changes, that the areal extent of fields is related to the size and rapidity of immigration rather than to the age of fields, and that fields are probably best identified by county rather than by community units.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
