    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Sequel to Handlin&#039;s monumental text, &quot;The Uprooted.&quot; Voices of first-generation Americans: the children of immigrants to America. In addition to pieces from Theodore Dreiser, Carl Sandburg, Louis Brandeis, and Reinhold Niebuhr, &quot;Children&quot; features the writing of prominent tabloid journalist Emile Gavreau - the child of French-Canadian immigrants to the US Northeast. From the introduction: &quot;The most significant variations among the children of the uprooted were those created by changes in the society in which they lived.  Their writings have therefore been arranged chronologically by the date of their birth, on the assumption that the significant attitudes were shaped in childhood and youth.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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 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:title><![CDATA[Frenchmen into Peasants: Modernity and Tradition in the Peopling of French Canada]]></dcterms:title>
    <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 />

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:title><![CDATA[Une Amérique française]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Un exploration québécois des contributions historiques des gens français et canadiens-français à  la vie quotidienne et la culture des Etats-Unis. 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>

    <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>

Its pages contain the spirit and pride that are the seeds of Madawaskan heritage, which, for two hundred years, have been nurtured by an undying Acadian tradition still highly visible in the St. John Valley today.&quot; From the translated text: &quot;It is but a first sketch, the first stuttering effort in our language at least, to relate the history of our historic Valley.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Polarizing 1970s policy text describing structural aspects of bilingual/bicultural school programs. From ERIC: &quot;This book presents a discussion paper of policy alternatives for bilingual-bicultural education. It also includes two critiques of the paper. Since the enactment of the Bilingual Education Act, the U.S. Office of Education has sponsored programs to help low achieving students with little or no command of English by teaching reading, math, and other subjects in the native language. Although not a failure, this approach does not demonstrate that it makes a difference in terms of student achievement, or acquisition of English....&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[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[Storytelling in Daily Life : Performing Narrative]]></dcterms:title>
    <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:title><![CDATA[Prejudice and Pride : Canadian Intellectuals Confront the United States, 1891-1945]]></dcterms:title>
    <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[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 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>

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: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>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Delights of Democracy : The Triumph of American Politics]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A collection of short essays that examines American politics through the lens of the political arena in the state of Maine. Written by a Bowdoin College professor of government and legal studies. Contains a few brief chapters devoted specifically to Franco Americans: &quot;Up Ye Mighty Francos&quot; and &quot;Changing Voting Patterns.&quot; In the first, Potholm speculates as to the lack of a Franco American name surfacing in the 2002 gubernatorial race, while the second attempts to categorize the &quot;profile&quot; of the Franco American voter. From Cooper Square Press: &quot;In &#039;The Delights of Democracy,&#039; Potholm shares his thoughts on why low voter turn-out is not exactly a bad thing, why Clinton was a good Republican president (that&#039;s right), how all political parties should be skilled in putting themselves in their opponents&#039; position, how smart politicians can make use of public polling, how people who don&#039;t care about the abortion debate are the decisive group in votes on the issue, and more. Filled with examples from his behind-the-scenes political career, Potholm&#039;s book informs readers what Americans really mean when they call their country a democracy.&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: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[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[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[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>

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>

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

    <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>

Beginning in the attitudes shaped during eighteenth-century struggles between France and Britain over the Canadian landmass, then moving through the American Revolution, the Great Migration period, the United States assimilation measures of the early twentieth century, and the Quebec nationalist movement, the authors reflect on the meaning of the United States for Quebec - and vice versa.

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:description><![CDATA[Studies conducted by University of Maine researchers on early school-age children. Observations and evaluations of psychological self-concept. Studies measure age, sex, and ethnic heritage factors and present data and observations based on these three categories. Mentions the lack of research done on Franco American socialization, despite the amount of information on the socialization of other immigrant ethnic groups. 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>

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

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

    <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:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;Using data from ethnographic studies of the use of French and English in Ontario and Quebec (Canada) in a variety of settings (hospital, factory, school, etc.) over the period 1978-1990, I discuss language choice as a political strategy, especially as a strategy of ethnic mobilisation. 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:title><![CDATA[The Social Consequences of Writing Louisiana French]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The status of French language in Louisiana over time - diversity, amalgamation, decay, revival, and current modes of expression. How the written French word in the context of Louisiana French language revival has taken on special political and social meaning. The written word as a sight for examining the connections between &quot;social and linguistic change&quot; in Louisiana. From the author: &quot;Studies on language shift often refer to the demise of the ousted variety by detailing various stages of language decay and extinction. Problematic for these accounts are well-documented cases of intervening social phenomena, such as language revival movements, which can alter in some way the stages of decline. French Louisiana&#039;s situation illustrates language shift interacting with a strong revival movement. In the wake of the revival and in spite of continued shift, another trend is apparent -- the writing of Louisiana French. Whereas shift clearly represents a stage of language decline, the creation of a written code functions as a key ingredient for language maintenance. A sociolinguistic analysis of these forces reveals the complexity and the conflict involved in the choice of the written word.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Crossing the 49th Parallel : Migration from Canada to the United States, 1900-1930]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A chronicling of movement from English and French Canada to the United States in the first thirty years of the twentieth century. Focused less on American community building than on patterns and means of human migration visible in government records from across the length of the Canadian-American border. An attempt at integrating the often-overlooked Anglo Canadian migration with that of French Canadians, and measuring Canadian emigration both within and beyond boundaries of ethnicity. Observations on instances of &quot;remigration&quot; - the movement to the United States of recent immigrants to Canada - in the time period of concern. From the book jacket: &quot; &#039;Crossing the 49th Parallel&#039; is the first book to encompass that entire, continent-wide population shift, bringing Canadian migration to the center of both Canadian and U.S. history.&quot; &quot;Bruno Ramirez researches the contents of previously unused border records to bring to light the wide variety of local contexts and historical circumstances that led Canadian men, women, and children to cross the border and become key actors in the U.S. economy and society.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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>

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.

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>
