    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Traitors and Scoundrels: Franco-American Responses to the French-Canadian Elite]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The French Canadians that settled in New England between 1850 and 1930 were hoping to maintain a French stronghold in the United States. With each wave of migration, the French-Canadian elites made speeches to their departing compatriots, encouraging them to return home. This article examines the strategies made in these speeches, varying from denigration to glorification. Franco-American authors Honoré Beaugrand and Emma Dumas countered these images by promoting positive literary representations of the French New England communities.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[French is literally everywhere - in our history and values, in our families, and in our neighborhoods and communities, from the croissant or macaron in our local café or bistro to family and place names across the country. These are the stories of French language and Francophone culture in the US, but, even more importantly, the stories of Franco-Americans - ranging from descendants of the earliest French explorers and French-Canadian immigrants to the newest arrivals in the US from throughout the Francophone world. This book is of interest to all of us, whatever our background, as the experience of French language and Francophone culture in the US has similarities to and intersects with the many languages and cultures that have contributed to the American experience]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[We Were Not Spoiled: A Franco-American Memoir]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[We Were Not Spoiled chronicles the early life of a Franco-Mainer born in 1921 in Lewiston and raised there. Lucille Verreault Ledoux&#039;s life is typical of many Franco-American women of her generation, children of immigrants to the US from French Canada, and, as such, the book is an important addition to our understanding of Maine’s ethnically diverse communities in the last century. We Were Not Spoiled offers insight into Franco-American social life and identity of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. In this story of the effects of immigration to the US from French Canada, we glimpse into the lives of French-speaking women and girls in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. French Canadian culture continued to be alive in the New England girls who people this eminently readable memoir. We Were Not Spoiled reveals an eye for often neglected details, of information thought to be marginal and so too frequently lost to students of history. A basic function of memoir is to give witness to a time and a way of life gone by, and this book succeeds well at this. In its pages, we find ourselves going with Lucille into textile mills of the Northeast US, living religious orthodoxy, and creating an identity for herself as a woman, wife and mother in the context of industrial New England..]]></dcterms:description>

Acting as a cultural tour guide, she here tells stories of what it was really like growing up with a rich Franco heritage across multiple venues of home, family, church, school, and other settings. Seniors also will see themselves in her stories. And younger people will be amazed at how quaint life was not so long ago. Informative and, as the author reflects back through the rear-view mirror of her own life, some of it&#039;s pretty comical too!]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A physician by training, Prosper Bender (1844–1917) achieved prominence through his written work on French Canadians. In the 1870s, he joined the flourishing literary scene of Quebec City, a period that culminated with his Literary Sheaves (1881) and Old and New Canada (1882). Then, for more than a quarter-century, Bender lived in Boston, where he practiced homeopathic medicine and again played the part of an intercultural broker. Doubts concerning his native land’s future led him to promote the American annexation of Canada; he also wrote for American readers articles on French-Canadian culture. More than a century later, Bender’s body of work reflects the challenges facing post-Confederation Canada and the struggle for mutual understanding between French Canadians and their English-speaking neighbours.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[From Mills to Millennium: Documenting Social Change through Oral Histories among Three Generations of Franco-Americans in Manchester]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The Franco-Americans who emigrated to the New England region did so during the industrial revolution, fleeing the starvation and overpopulation in Canada. Those who settled in Manchester, New Hampshire, also developed a community on the West Side of the city making the transition from Canada to Manchester&#039;s little Canada section easier for French immigrants. The West Side held the religious traditions and social and fraternal organizations with which this group was familiar. In addition to the history of Manchester, the researcher drew from sociological theories on assimilation, the interdisciplinary theories on place attachment and identity, and combined these approaches with the oral history of place memory. This dissertation contains the oral histories of sixteen Franco-Americans representing three generations ranging from ages nineteen to ninety. The intent of the collection is to preserve the lived experiences and memories of the Franco-American in Manchester. In order to provide a framework for understanding the oral histories presented here, four major themes were provided: family, education, religion and discrimination. The shifts observed across the generations in terms of the perceived role that the four themes play in their lives are detailed in the narrative portion. There are two components to this study on Manchester&#039;s Franco-Americans. The oral histories captured on the accompanying two hour and forty minute film are supplemented in the written document by recorded memories. Excerpts of written narratives also ground the interviews within the historical backdrop of the Franco-American in Manchester. The film is central to the study and provides videoed interviews from individuals with a French Canadian heritage. This study documented how attitudes and traditions changed across three generations of Franco-Americans within the greater Manchester area. The groups were characterized by and uniquely identified through the traditions and rituals of this rich culture. The identity with the Franco-American traditions and culture has lessened through the succeeding generations. In addition, the increased emotional separation from the Roman Catholic Church and geographic mobility away from the West Side is noted with its subsequent impact on identity with Franco traditions. All participants were recorded using state of the art video and audio equipment. The film included here is edited for dissertation purposes.]]></dcterms:description>

It is an impressively large concentration, the best estimates placing its numbers somewhere between 900 thousand and one million. The Franco-Americans of New England thus constitute more than one in six of the French-Canadian stock on this continent. On the basis of numbers alone, therefore, they are of considerable importance in any study of French-Canadian society and its culture. They are of far greater interest and importance, however, when their collective experience in the United States is viewed...<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Horrible Mothers: Representations across Francophone North America]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[For too long the main narratives of motherhood have been oppressive and exclusionary, frequently ignoring issues of female identity-especially regarding those not conforming to traditional female stereotypes.Horrible Mothers offers a variety of perspectives for analyzing representations of the mother in francophone literature and film at the turn of the twenty-first century in North America, including Québec, Ontario, New England, and California. Contributors reexamine the &quot;horrible mother&quot; paradigm within a broad range of sociocultural contexts from different locations to broaden the understanding of mothering beyond traditional ideology. The selections draw from long-established scholarship in women&#039;s studies as well as from new developments in queer studies to make sense of and articulate strategies of representation; to show how contemporary family models are constantly evolving, reshaping, and moving away from heteronormative expectations; and to reposition mothers as subjects occupying the center of their own narrative, rather than as objects. The contributors engage narratives of mothering from myriad perspectives, referencing the works of writers or filmmakers such as Marguerite Andersen, Nelly Arcan, Grégoire Chabot, Xavier Dolan, Nancy Huston, and Lucie Joubert.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Resisting the Melting Pot: The long term impact of maintaining identity for Franco-Americans in New England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Approximately 1 million French-Canadians moved to the United States, mainly between 1865 and 1930, and most settled in neighboring New England. In 1900 almost a fifth of all persons born in French Canada lived in the U.S. These migrants exerted considerable efforts to maintain their language and to replicate their home country institutions, most notably the schooling system, in their new country. For decades, this resistance to assimilation generated considerable attention and concern in the U.S. The concerns are strikingly similar to those often invoked today in discussions of immigration from Hispanic countries, notably Mexico. Mexicans may not be assimilating into mainstream America as European immigrants did. We look at the convergence in the educational attainment of French Canadian immigrants across generations relative to native English-speaking New Englanders and to European Roman Catholic immigrants. The educational attainment of Franco-Americans lagged that of their fellow citizens over a long period of time. By the time of the 2000 Census, they appear to have largely achieved parity. The effects of World War II, especially military service, were very important in speeding up the assimilation process through a variety of related channels: educational attainment, language assimilation, marrying outside the ethnic group, and moving out of New England. Economic assimilation was very gradual because of the persistence of ethnic enclaves.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The institution of town meeting, the beauty of the landscape, and the enduring qualities of the architecture all give the New England town the power to shape the identity of its inhabitants—in a good way. This premise is put on trial—and to a vote—in Whisper My Name, the third novel in Hebert&#039;s Darby Chronicles.The story unfolds as seen through the eyes of three men: the reporter Roland LaChance, the farmer Avalon Hillary, and the founder of a land trust, Raphael &quot;Reggie&quot; Salmon. Magnus Mall, a national corporation, wants to buy the Hillary farm and transform the property into a mall to serve western New Hampshire and eastern Vermont. The aging Hillary is torn between the traditions of his family and &quot;the thought of the money.&quot; LaChance is not only chasing down leads in his reportage on the mall—he&#039;s chasing down the story behind his own origins. Along the way he falls in love with Sheila &quot;Soapy&quot; Rayno, an aphasic girl from Darby whose origins are equally mysterious. As usual, the Jordan clan plays a pivotal role in this rousing tale of greed, power, and lust.This third novel in the Darby Chronicles will appeal to anyone interested in the clash of cultures in small-town America.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Contemporary Franco Americans: A Study of Ethnic Identity, Help-Seeking Attitudes, and Values]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Given the proximity to Canada, many French Canadians who immigrated to the United States between 1850 and 1950 settled within New England. This immigration resulted in a large population of French Canadian descendants, now considered Franco Americans, within this region. Despite the number of Franco Americans, mental health professionals in New England are offered limited knowledge on conceptualizing and treating this population. To respond to this need, the present study investigated the cultural values, ethnic identity, and professional psychological help-seeking attitudes of contemporary Franco Americans. It was hypothesized that Franco Americans would prioritize values in line with the group’s traditional characteristics and values; immigrant generational status would impact ethnic identity and help-seeking attitudes; and ethnic identity would be negatively related to help-seeking attitudes. Information was gathered in an online survey utilizing demographic items, Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ) and additional author-created items, Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure-Revised (MEIM-R), and Attitude Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPHS-SF). Data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, correlations, and tests of difference. Results indicated that Franco Americans ranked/prioritized values in the following order: work, family, benevolence, self-direction, universalism, conformity, hedonism, achievement, tradition, stimulation, religion, and power. Generational differences did not exist with regards to ethnic identity and help-seeking attitudes, and ethnic identity was not related to help-seeking attitudes. Women prioritized family and benevolence higher than men, whereas men prioritized power higher than women. Age was positively correlated with ethnic identity, universalism, self-direction, security, and religion, and negatively correlated with hedonism, achievement, and power. Those who spoke French as their first language possessed higher ethnic identity than those who spoke English as their first language. First generation prioritized religion and tradition higher than second generation. Third generation prioritized universalism higher than fourth generation. The study concluded: that (a) contemporary Franco Americans’ values orientations are similar to those of the general American population; (b) the majority of contemporary Franco Americans identify with an ethnic label, but do not have a high level of ethnic identity in terms of exploration and commitment; and (c) contemporary Franco Americans as a group hold impartial to somewhat favorable help-seeking attitudes.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Distinct Alien Race : The Untold Story of Franco-Americans: Industrialization, Immigration, Religious Strife]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In the later 19th century, French-Canadian Roman Catholic immigrants from Quebec were deemed a threat to the United States, potential terrorists in service of the Pope. Books and newspapers floated the conspiracy theory that the immigrants seeking work in New England&#039;s burgeoning textile industry were actually plotting to annex parts of the United States to a newly independent Quebec. Vermette&#039;s groundbreaking study sets this neglected and poignant tale in the broader context of North American history. He traces individuals and families, from the textile barons who created a new industry to the poor farmers and laborers of Quebec who crowded into the mills in the post-Civil War period. Vermette discusses the murky reception these cross-border immigrants met in the USA, including dehumanizing conditions in mill towns and early-20th-century campaigns led by the Ku Klux Klan and the Eugenics movement. Vermette also discusses what occurred when the textile industry moved to the Deep South and brings the story of emigrants up to the present day. Vermette shows how this little-known episode in U.S. history prefigures events as recent as yesterday&#039;s news. His well documented narrative touches on the issues of cross-border immigration; the Nativists fear of the Other; the rise and fall of manufacturing in the U.S.; and the construction of race and ethnicity.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[French Canadian immigrants to the United States and their Franco-American descendants faced discrimination and marginalization due to their religious faith, their language, and their customs. From the late nineteenth century to the Second World War, they occupied an ambiguous place in the country&#039;s ethnic and racial landscape. Their uncertain status resulted from their dual identity as a people of Western European descent and as North American settlers whose racial belonging was contested. Steering through that ambiguity and seeking a full-fledged whiteness, Franco-Americans at times accepted the racial litmus tests established by the dominant Anglo-Saxon group, not least by distancing themselves from East Asian migrants, African Americans, and Indigenous peoples.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Personal essay on the class and racial lines of immigrant, industrial New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the twentieth century, as mirrored in the dynamics of the author&#039;s family. Explains where the Civil Rights Movement and McCarthyism fit into the way working-class people in certain New England towns thought about themselves and others in terms of race. How such a conversation itself illuminates the role of race in places of little racial diversity, and among families like the author&#039;s, whose class conditions seemed to preclude the speaking authority afforded wealthier New Englanders. Featured in a special issue of the independent news weekly, The Village Voice, dedicated to exploring questions of &quot;whiteness.&quot; Also published in a reader entitled, Identity Matters: Rhetorics of Difference (Prentice Hall, 1998).]]></dcterms:description>

Discussion of their minority demographics, as well as local, academic, and federal intiatives to bolster bilingual educational support, community solidarity, and public recognition. Looks specifically to the Acadians of the St. John Valley and the Francos of the lower half of the state, especially in Lewiston, and the differences between their communities and histories. Written in light of pending federal legislation to recognize Franco-Americans as an official and distinct minority group, thereby making available more federal money for culturally relevant programs.]]></dcterms:description>

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

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

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>

The bureau hired Flora Haines of Bangor to complete the survey. She spoke with women in the workplace and handed out over six hundred questionnaires that asked about health and safety issues, wages and work hours, sanitary conditions in the boarding houses, and other matters....At the end of the questionnaire was this statement: &#039;Make any suggestions that you think will tend to improve your condition at work.&#039; Hundreds of women responded....In this documentary the women&#039;s voices are brought to life again to tell the story of working conditions for women in the latter part of the 19th century in Maine. Using interviews, historical photos, and video from present day factories &#039;Hard Work&#039; details the rise of the female labor force in the state&#039;s mills and factories and explores the conditions that women had to endure both on and off the job.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Belles of New England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A presentation by William Moran on his book, &quot;The Belles of New England,&quot; as a portion of the 2002 Concord Festival of Authors, Concord, Massachusetts. From C-SPAN: &quot;Mr. Moran discussed his book &#039;The Belles of New England: The Women of the Textile Mills and the Families Whose Wealth They Wove,&#039; published by Thomas Dunne Books. The book recounts the rise and fall of the New England textile industry of the 19th century. Mr. Moran traces the experiences of the thousands of women who left New England farm towns and the Irish, Canadian and European immigrants who came to work in the textile mills. At a time when women had no political influence, these workers opposed mill owners like the Cabots and Lowells of Boston for fair wages and safer working conditions. Following his remarks, Mr. Moran answered questions from members of the audience.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Short personal essay written by a journalist from Maine.  Reflections on leaving Maine early in life, eventually for New York City, and returning for his retirement. His early commitment to mastering English in spite of his home French, and both the personal and the more general, historical issues that this choice and language loss raised for him upon his return. Arguments bolstered by events surrounding the mispronunciation of his French name, the cultural insensitivity he still finds in his home state, and the attempts of others to reckon with discrimination toward French cultures in Maine. First published serially in Le FAROG Forum , in three parts. Later included in a 1970s collection of materials entitled, &quot;Franco American Resources in Education&quot; developed by Claire Bolduc. As part of this collection, the essay is followed by six discussion questions related to issues raised by the author.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Biography of Manchester, New Hampshire author Grace Metalious. Famous for her novel &quot;Peyton Place&quot; and its various film adaptations. Emily Toth is also the biographer of novelist Kate Chopin.<br />
<br />
From University Press of Mississippi: &quot;The juicy biography of the scandalous novelist who lifted the lid off a New England town...Grace Metalious, an unpretentious housewife from the wrong side of the tracks, had written an explosive bestseller. From a ramshackle cottage in a small New England milltown, she zoomed to national stardom. She met movie stars, famous writers, and the hangers-on who gravitate to those who achieve sudden wealth. She partied with the glamorous; she traveled; always a generous friend, she entertained lavishly. It was a Cinderella dream. But it did not last....Grace refused to be confined by the fifties&#039; notions of a woman&#039;s place. In her struggle to find herself, she lifted the lid off sex and violence, power and powerlessness, truth and hypocrisy, and became known as the Pandora in Blue Jeans. &#039;If I&#039;m a lousy writer,&#039; she said, &#039;then an awful lot of people have got lousy taste.&#039;...Emily Toth has given us a complete and sympathetic portrait of Grace: the idealistic young scribbler, the partier, the sometimes reluctant wife and mother. Tracing the television shows, the films, the Peyton Place sequels and later novels, Toth shows Grace plagued by periods of self-doubt and loneliness, striving desperately and feeling pressured to create another &#039;hit.&#039;&quot;<br />

Moves through the author&#039;s youth and his own unique relationship with faith and doctrine. An intimate and intimately-told story of religion in America, especially Catholicism, during and after the social upheavel of the middle twentieth century.

Peter Manseau&#039;s riveting evocation of his parents&#039; parallel childhoods, their similar callings, their experiences in the seminary and convent, and how they met while tending to the homeless of Roxbury, Massachusetts, during the riot-prone 1960s is a page-turning meditation on the effect that love can have on profound faith.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Trudy Chambers Price has captured the daily joys and struggles of the family farm in a way that ensures this Maine way of life will not be forgotten....Price and her husband raised two sons and hundreds of cows on Craneland Farm in Central Maine. The work was never-ending and exhausting, but also exhilarating and rewarding. In this bittersweet memoir of two decades of dairy farming, Chambers writes of the daily trials of haying, cow breeding and milking against a backdrop of gentle and entertaining rural life. She introduces kind neighbors, eccentric neighbors, visiting city folk and loveable pets. &#039;The Cows Are Out!&#039; is a tribute to hard-working family farmers and to an important part of Maine&#039;s historical and cultural heritage.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Destination Madawaska : Biographie de Charles Terrieau, pionnier acadien ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The book is a biography of Charles Theriault, first francophone settler in 1821-1823 of the lower Madawaska River in present-day St-Jacques. The book presents a brief history of the Acadian migration before the time of Charles&#039; trail-blazing in the wilderness of the Madawaska territory. The territory at that time was a no-man&#039;s land&#039; that included much of northern Maine from Houlton and all of Madawaska county and parts of Victoria and Restigouche counties of northwestern New Brunswick. At that time, the territory was claimed by the United States as being part of the new state of Maine and was also claimed by England as being part of the new colony of New Brunswick. The dispute was settled by the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842 which  chose the St-John River as the international boundary separating the United States and New Brunswick. The book presents the genealogy of the greater Thériault family in the St-John Valley showing that the population of all Thériaults until 1900 came from three branches of the Acadian family; one which migrated from the lower St-John to St-Basile around 1790 and two branches which had migrated from Acadia to Kamouraska, QC in 1759 and later migrated to the various Madawaska settlements between 1820 and 1860.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Self-published memoir about life in Québec, and life after Québec. From iUniverse: &quot;Michel learns that his father is dying. This news precipitates a nostalgic journey into the past-a childhood spent on a dairy farm in French Québec. As a sensitive boy secluded from the world, Michel wavers between forbidden exploits and heartbreaking tribulations. Catholic school is a culture shock, but it&#039;s the huge pumpkin-shaped teacher with a bad temper who terrorizes his brain most. On the farm, his young life abounds with fun and danger-mad bulls, dynamite sticks, runaway darts, lethal ice cubes, and hazardous farm equipment. After struggling with a dismal economy, his family is forced to abandon their home. They desert their isolated farmhouse and move into a cockroach-infested apartment in an English-speaking city one mile from the seductive United States border. There, Michel copes with bullies, Russian spies, and ghosts. &#039;Little Canuck&#039; recounts the humorous, and at times, heartrending memoirs of a young boy on his journey through a colorful landscape of emotion. Along the way, young Michel uncovers the mysteries of female anatomy, and learns poignant truths about mortality. His most profound lessons are not learned at school.<br />

Jones concentrates on those whose lives were most affected by Kerouac: daughter Jan Kerouac, wives Edie Parker, Joan Haverty, and Stella Sampas, as well as nephew Paul Blake Jr. &#039;Use My Name: Jack Kerouac&#039;s Forgotten Families&#039; takes its title from advice given to Jan during her second and final meeting with Jack, who encouraged her to profit from the surname she shared with the famous author of &#039;On the Road.&#039; Sadly, not one of these individuals so closely tied to Kerouac seems to have benefited from the connection, as Jones discovers in his in-depth interview with Jan. She discusses at length her 15 months as a prostitute, her own divorces, her hospitalization, and her life as an author, including a wild European book tour for [her novel] &#039;Baby Driver.&#039; Although Kerouac is one of the most &#039;biographied&#039; American writers of our time, Jones offers a new perspective on the King of the Beats and his generation, one in which formerly marginalized figures in the Kerouac storyparticularly womenbecome strong, central characters. He also exposes the cut-throat wheeling and dealing that has plagued the Kerouac estate and that continues today as the various players do battle over the legacy of one of the counterculture&#039;s biggest idols.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Touch Art Books: &quot;This story with its bold contrasts of good and bad, love and hate, inextricably connected, is situated in the context of the bigger history of French Canadian and Indian people amid mainstream American culture from the mid 1950s to the edge of the 21st century....Touchette&amp;rsquo;s story is rooted deep in the past in her parents&#039;, grandparents&#039;, and great-grandparents&#039; experiences. Rooted in a changing, dying culture, and a community with a complex history, her mixed heritage held good and bad. With coal black eyes, Indian hair, French language, and woman-centered culture, she inherited a legacy of oppression and denial overshadowed by the powerful influence of the Catholic Church. But Touchette chose a different legacy for her children and the seven generations to follow that connected her to 5000 years of Jewish traditions, and milleniums of Native American spirituality.&quot; Also from Touch Art Books: &quot;A visionary American painter examines an eventful life that spans fifty years, several cultures -- French Canadian, Indian and Jewish, and diverse places -- from Wellesley College, New York&#039;s Lower East Side, and Soho, to Indian Country, Navajo Nation and Santa Fe, New Mexico. Stories of families -- their agony and blessings, shame and pride, destruction and creation -- with brilliant illustrations, demonstrate the depth and resiliency of the human spirit, and make the personal, universal. Original.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Biography of a father from his daughter&#039;s point of view, set in the context of Old Town, Maine, in the first half of the 20th century. From the author: &quot;&#039;Growing Up On Academy Hill&#039; honors [King&#039;s] father who encouraged all six of his children to finish high school, a not-so-common achievement for those hard times. Recalling his ideology Annette wrote: &#039;My father was born with an inexhaustible desire to feel the earth passing through his fingers, to smell newly plowed fields warmed by sunlight. Every spring he pointed joyfully to new beginnings, and with enthusiasm taught us the basics of all beauty. From one corner of a small piece of land to the other, we observed as children, life through his eyes.&#039; A brother&#039;s thoughts: &#039;We were not from a very touchy-feely&quot; kind of family. However, our parents were not unloving, it was simply an unspoken love that was shared. I never heard Papa say, &quot;I love you&quot; to my mother, my sisters, or me. I never saw Papa kiss Mama. Yet the feeling of love was pervasive when I was a child.&#039;&quot; ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[1971 paper presented at the fifth annual TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana. Abstract from the text: &quot;Bilingual programs should focus on promoting psychosocial growth rather than language growth. Risk taking, change, and creativity should characterize the approach to bilingual education. Traditional ideas about language learning may not be suitable. It is not necessarily true that children cannot learn a second language unless it is taught to them. The behavioristic, audiolingual approach may not be the best for the bilingual child. Bilingual educators should not be overly concerned about the orthodoxy of their methods. The corrective approach to language teaching may not be the most appropriate one for the young bilingual child.  Promoting psychosocial growth involves educating teachers and generating community involvement. The students must be given the basic tools to manage their own growth in two languages at an early age.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Companions of Champlain : Founding Families of Québec, 1608-1635]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A remembrance of the French colonists to accompany explorer Samuel de Champlain to North America in the seventeenth century, and some observations on the particular developments of their transplanted culture and society. The first decades of the French in North America, and an historical context for the French in Canada. Provides genealogical information on these early colonists and their families. Appended with maps, images, references, and lineages.   From the author:  &quot;Companions of Champlain: Founding Families of Quebec, 1608-1635, was produced to honor the 400th anniversary of the founding of Québec City and to enable North Americans on both sides of the political divide to appreciate more fully their French-Canadian heritage.  &quot;Companions of Champlain explains in clear language the reasons for the New-World explorations of Samuel de Champlain in the 1600s and the unique culture that resulted from the establishment of a trading post in the wilds of North America in 1608. &quot;Appendices provide an alphabetical list of French genealogical terminology and an example of citation notation for use when filling in ancestral charts, one of which is provided for reproduction. The full-reference citation method described in the book is unique in that it is keyed from the numbering sequence on commonly used charts and does not require the superscripts and complex systems often found in genealogy.  &quot;Included in the volume are maps, an illustration of Champlainâ&#039;s 1603 astrolabe, references, five appendices, lineage and pedigree charts with citations, and an index.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
