    <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>

A small chapbook-sized resource that includes segments dedicated to culture and the arts as well as a section of brief biographies on notable Rhode Islanders. Part of the prologue reads, &quot;It is with a growing sense of urgency, however, that we must note how the viable French communities of the past are in a period of profound change. Whether this group continues unchanged as an ethnocentric entity or simply becomes part of the nebulous mainstream of American society is a phenomenon which is of concern to those of us who are active in Franco-American endeavors.&quot;]]></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[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>

Includes enlistment figures in relation to immigration, as well as population figures around 1860.

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 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>

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[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. A sociolinguistic analysis of these forces reveals the complexity and the conflict involved in the choice of the written word.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

This occupation at the convergence of the growing need for home care workers in American homes, with the financial insecurity of older active adults in need of supplemental income, and who are able to provide social support and physical assistance to elders in need of care-taking. Author asks: &quot;As older women are choosing, or being forced, to work later in life, is personal care work in their best interest?&quot; (300). Article based on mixed-methods research - the Older Worker Study - including interviews with Maine home health workers: discussion of financial status, family status, work history, and attitudes toward age and experience. Written by a Professor of Social Work at the University of Maine.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An evaluation of reactions to, condemnations of, and opinions relative to Québec&#039;s 1974 passage of Bill 22 - making law the preference and predominance of the French language in that province. 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>

In Worcester, Massachusetts, journalist Ferdinand Gagnon functioning in the French Canadian press as an agent of repatration for Quebec government in 1875; the eventual shift in his political position, a rearticulation of his understandings of cultural allegiance, and his eventual American naturalization. In Michigan, Telesphore St-Pierre as journalist advocate for la survivance during a period of growth of French community and society there. The difficulties of appealing to Canadian repatriation after extended settlement. St-Pierre&#039;s eventual appeal for American nationalism and Catholic loyalty as means of retaining heritage.

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: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: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>

Construit autour d&#039;une source originale  les brochures de propagande parues en Grande-Bretagne, dans certains pays d&#039;Europe conti­nentale, au Canada, au Québec, aux États-Unis, en Afrique du Sud, en Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande , l&#039;ouvrage passe en revue les discours qui, pendant plus d&#039;un siiècle, ont accompagné la conquête des terres neuves. Non seulement il en révièle le contenu, mais il en analyse aussi les procédés, pour en faire un objet de comparaison avec le discours qué­bécois de colonisation et en exposer les particularités.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <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>

    <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>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Death and Rebirth of the American Mill Town]]></dcterms:title>
    <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 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>

She writes: &quot;...the Franco-American Research Project was established in April 1978 by the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union for the purpose of gathering additional information relating to the occupational and educational status of New Hampshire&#039;s Franco-American community.

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>

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.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the inside cover: &quot;Lowell, Massachusetts, was America&#039;s first large-scale planned industrial community. After its establishment as a town in 1826, Lowell was celebrated for its innovative textile technology and its unique workforce of young Yankee farm women. Its mills helped transform American life with high-volume mechanized manufacturing, the rise of the corporation, and the growth of an urban working class. Lowell National Historical Park preserves many scenes of the city&#039;s industrial past. This book is both an illustrated account of the changing fortunes of Lowell&#039;s industry and its working people and a guide to surviving sites.&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 Run of the Mill : A Pictorial Narrative of the Expansion, Dominion, Decline, and Enduring Impact of the New England Textile Industry]]></dcterms:title>
    <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>

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>

    <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[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>

Dooley and Jack Kerouac to show that their experiences signaled a new Catholic appreciation of the American tradition of creative freedom.&quot; Contains the following chapters: &quot;The Conversion of Dorothy Day&quot; &quot;Fools for Christ&quot; : Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker movement, 1933-1949 The Catholic workers and Catholic culture, 1933-1949 The limits of personalism : &quot;Integrity&quot; and the Marycrest Community, 1946-1956 Thomas A. Dooley and the romance of Catholic anticommunism A Catholic errand in the wilderness : Tom Dooley in Laos and America, 1956-1961 Jack Kerouac and Thomas Merton, the last Catholic romantics.]]></dcterms:description>

    <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[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[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>

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>

From University of Illinois Press: &quot;Exit, like entry, has helped define citizenship over the past two centuries, yet little attention has been given to the politics of emigration. 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>

Mais c&#039;est autre chose de poser en principe absolu que les Franco-Americains, du fait qu&#039;ils sont d&#039;origine française, doivent être desservis en français....Il est donc souverainement important de prendre les choses telles qu&#039;elles sont, car là  seulement est la vérité....Ce que nous cherchons, vous et moi, dans cette discussion de la question franco-américaine, c&#039;est la vérité, sachant que la vérité vraie peut seule nous rendre libres de l&#039;erreur...&quot;(7-9).]]></dcterms:description>

    <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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A collection of papers on family history and demography in the United States. Based on 1974 Williams College seminar. Coedited by the author of &quot;Amoskeag&quot;: a study in oral history on millwork in Manchester, New Hampshire. From a review of &quot;Family and Population&quot; written by Lois Horton, featured in the journal, Ethnohistory: &quot;This volume of essays brings the perspective of family history to the study of urbanization and industrialization.  The authors draw on a wide variety of approaches and data sources to examine marriage, fertility, family and household composition, and life style in rapidly changing nineteenth-century America....The essays in &#039;Family and Population in Nineteenth Century America&#039; clearly demonstrate the shortcomings of other studies which draw conclusions about family and household patterns from the study of the social facts contained in aggregate data. Their greatest strength is the illumination of the complexities of human behavior and the importance of factors which can only be discovered by examining smaller units of social organization.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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[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>

    <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>

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[An explanation of 1970s Canadian census figures specifically regarding language, birth rates, and geography. From the author: &quot;Canada is an ideal country in which to study the progress of language transfer and other factors affecting minority survival, because the decennial census includes three questions on language and one on ethnic origin. 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: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: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>

    <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 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>

    <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:description><![CDATA[Sur Aram J. Pothier, candidat républicain au poste de gouverneur du Rhode Island, comme il a été décrit par New England Magazine. Un dirigeant local - culturellement, politiquement, économiquement. Aussi quelques mots sur l&#039;homme comme écrit dans La Revue des Deux-Frances. Comment bien qu&#039;il est «américain» en donnant aux discours à  la Providence, Boston et Biddeford, Maine. Un argument en faveur de son élection, en dépit de sa naissance canadienne, et aussi des mots à  l&#039;appui de l&#039;égalité politique générale pour les immigrants aux États-Unis.]]></dcterms:description>
