    <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[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[La migration des Canadiens français vers le Michigan, 1840-1914 : leur contribution au développement socioéconomique de la région]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Ce texte a devenu le livre &quot;Le Canadiens français du Michigan&quot; (2000), ou &quot;The French Canadians of Michigan&quot; (2003). Du résumé: &quot;Cette thièse a pour objet la migration des Canadiens français vers le Michigan de 1840 à  1914. Elle s&#039;intéresse de maniére plus precise aux Canadiens français qui se sont dirigés vers deux régions caracteristiques du développement industriel de l&#039;Etat, soit la vallée forestiière de la riviere Saginaw et la peninsule miniière de cuivre de Keweenaw. Au-dela d&#039;établir un profil statistique du mouvement migratoire, cette these cherche a mettre en lumiere la contribution des Canadiens français au développement socioéconomique du Michigan, à  connaitre de quelle facon les Canadiens français se sont adaptés à  la realité industrielle changeante du Michigan et à  identifier les strategies qui furent adoptées pour y parvenir....Nous posons d&#039;abord comme cadre general d&#039;analyse que la mobilite spatiale des Canadiens français sur le continent nord-americain a été sous-estimée et que cet aspect de la realité socioéconomique et culturelle des Canadiens français commence à  peine à  être révelé dans toute sa dimension. L&#039;analyse de leur migration vers le Michigan éclaire de maniière encore plus évidente cet aspect et permet d&#039;inscrire ce mouvement migratoire en parfaite continuité avec la culture de mouvement et de travail qu&#039;ils ont acquisé au fil de leur expérience de vie et de travail sur le continent. Nous avons d&#039;abord constaté que les Canadiens français ont contribué de façon marquée à  toutes les étapes du développement socioéconomique et politique du Michigan. Nous avons découvert que l&#039;adaptation des Canadiens français à  la realité industrielle au Michigan s&#039;est exprimée de maniière différente dans le marche du travail forestier et dans celui du travail minier. Dans le premier cas, la culture de mouvement, conjuguée à  une longue expérience de travail dans ce domaine, a fait en sorte que les Canadiens français se sont sentis rapidement à  l&#039;aise dans ce milieu et que cette confiance a influencé leur comportement. Que ce soit dans leur communauté, face à  leurs élites ou au sein du marche du travail, l&#039;assurance qu&#039;ont affichée les Canadiens français leur a permis de prendre une distance face aux préscriptions clericales visant la survivance et l&#039;isolement, pour participer activement à  la société globale, s&#039;y impliquer, s&#039;adapter et réagir aux changements majeurs qui sont survenus sur le marche du travail industriel....Dans le secteur minier, l&#039;absence d&#039;expérience de travail des premiers migrants ne leur a pas permis d&#039;afficher une aussi belle assurance. Les Canadiens français sont démeurés en marge du travail minier alors qu&#039;ils se sont concentrés dans les secteurs connexés du travail forestier pour lequel ils avaient une expérience de travail. Ils ont également cherché à  s&#039;isoler socialement se concentrant dans des villages comme celui de Lake Linden ù ils ont constitué longtemps plus de la moitié de la population totale et ù ils ont pu ainsi maintenir un certain controle sur leur réalité socioéconomique et politique....Mais dans les deux cas, les Canadiens français n&#039;ont pas été passifs, ni victimes de la situation. Aux changements de toute nature qui se sont produits, ils ont constamment réagi en faisant appel à  leur culture de vie et de travail et aus ressources familiales pour s&#039;adapter afin de faciliter leur integration socioéconomique.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Franco-American Folk Traditions and Popular Culture in a Former Milltown : Aspects of Ethnic Urban Folklore and the Dynamics of Folklore Change in Lowell, Massachusetts ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Lane: &quot;Being Americans of French-Canadian descent, the Franco-Americans of New England possess a rich and original traditional culture which has been little documented up to now, especially in English....As a result, this dissertation, which is a study in ethnic folklore and popular culture, attempts to provide an overview of the folk-traditions of French expression still existing today among the Franco-American community of Lowell, Massachusetts....This work is basically divided into two parts. The first two chapters of Part I deal with the general historical and cultural background of the Franco-Americans of New England, in general, and Lowell, in particular, while the third chapter looks at previous research in the domain of ethnic folklore and, more specifically, Franco-American folklore. Aspects of folklore performance and context are considered from the historical point of view of the Lowell Franco-American community....Part II, on the other hand, deals mainly with the documentation of the various realms of Franco-American folk-traditions, here classified according to genre. Traditional narratives (&quot;contes&quot;), popular jokes (&quot;histoires droles&quot;), children&#039;s songs and rhymes, and elements of oral history as well as aspects of traditional singing, music and dance are consecutively considered with sample texts of each genre given and analyzed. Further supporting documents are also presented in the appendices....Because Franco-American culture (and therefore Franco-American folklore and popular culture) is the historical result of successive migrations (from France to what is known today as Canada and, from Canada to New England) this study also takes into account the phenomenon of cultural continuity as well as some aspects of the dynamics of culture change which are viewed here as a process resulting from the conflict having taken and still taking place between two opposing forces: cultural maintenance and assimilation....Most of all, however, this work is a first step into the field of Franco-American oral-traditional genres, popular culture and an homage to ethnic creativity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From Peterson and Langellier: &quot;Any study of personal narrative involves researchers and performers in contested, hence political, concerns of context and power. These concerns tend to be obscured methodologically by three commonplace assumptions: personal narrative is a text, personal narrative can be fully transcribed and analyzed, and personal narrative is not performance. This essay examines these assumptions and illustrates their methodological implications with an excerpt from an interview narrative with a breast cancer survivor.&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>

In examining textual sources through which New England French-Canadians have imagined their affinities and differences in relation to other ethnic groups and nationalities, from the mid-19th century up to the present day (e.g., Tremblay, Beaugrand, Kerouac, Plante, Proulx), an alternative model for the 21st century emerges: a politics of alterity in which an increasingly fragile &#039;microethnic&#039; memory continues to be rearticulated across linguistic and national borders to serve as a parallel narrative to metropolitan discourses of identity, exceptionalism and survivance.&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>

From the text: &quot;More than ever it struck me as to just how elitist French Canada&#039;s historiography has been and to a large degree remains. The constitutional, nationalist, neo-nationalist, and ideological schools have all been recycling the same elitist hash: in essence a Whig interpretation from the loser&#039;s perspective. Rouillard&#039;s emigrants, however, were the survivors in the grand tradition of la survivance. Personal interests came first...&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Hamon envisioned a peaceful conquest of New England by a surplus French-Canadian population, capable of resisting Americanization, laboring in the mills, and farming the countryside. Hamon suggested bonds between established Quebec churches and churches in northern New England. He favored a sovereign nation formed out of Quebec and Franco-American New England. Hamon&#039;s work was warmly received by French Canadians and Franco-Americans, although it awakened nativist suspicion in the United States.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The proximity of Québec made possible the maintenance of intimate social and cultural relationships between emigrants and their homeland. Thousands of Franco-Americans were educated in the colleges classiques of French Canada, assuring an ideological conformity between elite groups on both sides of the border and delaying the Americanization of Franco-Americans for several decades.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From refdoc.fr: &quot;This article examines three Francophone texts written by Franco-American authors of New England, texts that have received scant critical attention. Writing in a language other than English in the United States foregrounds issues of cultural survival. Whereas in the past Franco-American literary efforts depicted unified communities engaged in the preservation of their distinct cultural heritage-la langue, la foi, et la culture françaises-the works examined here subvert this picture of cohesiveness. In exposing the rigid class structure, dysfunctional families, and bitter disputes over language that fragment this linguistic group, they debunk the myth of ethnic solidarity in Franco-American society.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[De l&#039;introduction de cet étudiant de France: &quot;Afin d&#039;approcher le sujet, trois méthodes ont été employées. La lecture de documents écrits retracent l&#039;immigration et l&#039;installation de canadiens français dans le Maine. Afin de mieux percevoir ce qui peut définier un franco-américain, l&#039;outil statistique constatera certains critières économiques comme familiaux en 1990. Enfin, différentes rencontres imageront l&#039;environnement d&#039;un franco-américain dans le Maine en cette fin de siiècle....Bien sur, à  travers des traits historiques, on obervera la continuité de quelques formes communautaires encore marquées du seau du XIXième et du début du XXième siiècle. Le rappel historique d&#039;une immigration canadienne francophone est le prélude du phénomiène franco-américain dans les états de Nouvelle-Angleterre. Les lieux d&#039;émigration comme d&#039;immigration sont connus et à  chaque ville dite &quot;française&quot;, on peut déterminer les lieux d&#039;origine des nouveaux arrivants. Qu&#039;il se soit fait à  pied ou en train, le mouvement migratoire amenait ces canadiens francophones à  se regrouper en certaines villes. Des structures communautaires furent crées pour faciliter les conditions de vie des canadiens français dans le Maine....La geographie des franco-américains dans le Maine sera ensuite abordée. On cherchera à  savoir si le phénomiène est uniforme. Pour cela, des outils statistiques apporteront des renseignements sur des différences régionales tant d&#039;un point de vue géographique que sociologique....Enfin, divers aspects de la réalité franco-américaine des années 1990 seront présentés. On essayera de comprendre sur quelles bases les communautés continuent a se maintenir, et si renouvellement il y a.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Dissertation on the &quot;invisible immigrants&quot; to the United States from Britain and Canada between the 1920s and 1960s. From the author: &quot;Always among the most numerous groups of immigrants to the United States, until 1969, the British and Canadians seldom claimed the attention of historians, just as they caused little discussion among the American people generally. Sharing a common language and closeness of culture with the Americans, the British and Canadians remained unhyphenated--they were America&#039;s &#039;invisible immigrants.&#039;...A number of important studies on the British immigrant, if not the Canadian, do exist, but they are concerned with the Britons&#039; experiences and their contribution to the American mosaic during America&#039;s &#039;century of immigration,&#039; the one hundred years from 1815 to 1914. The purpose of this study was to extend the record of British and Canadian immigration beyond the statistical reports of government departments since the hiatus of World War I and to present an interpretive commentary on the significance of these two streams of immigration--to the sending countries; to the receiving country; and to a sample of individual immigrants themselves.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms: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:title><![CDATA[Resisting the Melting Pot : The Long Term Impact of Maintaining Identity for Franco-Americans in New England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From MacKinnon and Parent - Department of Economics, McGill University: &quot;In this paper, we look at the emigration of approximately 1 million French-Canadians who moved to the United States, with the bulk of the migration occurring between the end of the Civil War and 1930 and with most settling in neighboring New England. What makes this episode particularly interesting is the fact that the French-Canadian immigrants exerted considerable efforts to maintain their language and to replicate their home century institutions, most notably the schooling system, in their new country. This explicit resistance to assimilation generated considerable attention and concern in the U.S. over many years.... We look at the convergence in the educational attainment of French Canadian immigrants across generations relative to native English-speaking New Englanders and to other immigrants....Additionally, we show that military service was a very important factor contributing to the assimilation process through a variety of related channels, namely educational attainment, language assimilation, marrying outside the ethnic group, and moving out of New England. Finally, when we compare Franco-Americans to French-speaking Canadians of the same generations, it is clear that Franco-Americans substantially upgraded their educational attainment relative to what it would have been if they had not emigrated.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The biography of a Catholic nun and a Catholic priest in Boston, Massachusetts - their work and their faith, their marriage and their family - written by their son. 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. From Free Press: &quot;&#039;Vows&#039; is a compelling story of one family&#039;s unshakable faith that to be called is to serve, however high the cost may be. 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>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Role of Fr. Jean-Baptiste Proulx in the Danielson Affair and in the Manitoba School Question]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The thesis is an examination of the role of Fr. Jean-Baptiste Proulx as an intermediary for the French-Canadian laity at St. James&#039; Church in Danielson, Connecticut in the parish discord known as the Danielson Affair, and as a secret ambassador of Prime Minister Wilfred Laurier for negotiations with Pope Leo XIII in order to settle the Manitoba School Question in 1896. The thesis re-examines the histories that have been written about Fr. Proulx&#039;s role in both historical events, and the histories that are examined are the book and dissertation by Sr. Dolores Liptak, European Immigrants and the Catholic Church in Connecticut, 1870-1920, and Robert Rumilly&#039;s Histoire des Franco-Américains and volumes eight and nine of his series, Histoire de la Province du Québec. ... The sources that are used to re-examine the histories are sources that Robert Rumilly used, such as the Papers of Fr. Proulx that are held by the National Archives of Quebec at Montreal, as well as Fr. Proulx&#039;s own account as an intermediary in the Danielson Affair, entitled: &quot;Journal of My Steps and Walks in the Diocese of Hartford on the Subject of Danielson by the Reverend J.B. Proulx, Parish Priest of St. Lin.&quot; Also used are several contemporary newspapers in Connecticut, as well as three French-language newspapers that were published in Montreal and in Southern New England. In the analysis of the Danielson Affair and the Manitoba School Question, the thesis examines the development of several documents in light of either historical event. ... Also, the thesis analyzes two speeches from the Eleventh Convention of the Canadiens-Américains du Connecticut that was held in September 1896, and how they became two documents about the Danielson Affair that were forwarded to Fr. Proulx while he was in Rome. Other documents that are examined are the decision of the Connecticut Supreme Court of Errors on the contested election of lay trustees at St. James&#039; Church in Danielson, known as &#039;State ex rel. George Barry vs. Eli Getty and James Reynolds,&#039; and the response by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hartford to the said decision that changed the state laws for the incorporation of Catholic parishes, &#039;An Act concerning the Organization of Roman Catholic Churches&#039; in 1903.&quot;]]></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: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: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: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.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Du texte: &quot;Cette thièse porte sur l&#039;inscription de la Beat Generation dans la littérature québécoise. J&#039;y analyse non pas la réception de ce mouvement au Québec lors de son émergence dans les années 1950, mais bien sa réappropriation postérieure. II faut pour lire ce corpus québécois contemporain une connaissance sans faille de celui de la Beat Generation et des travaux sur le mouvement et ses écrivains. Dans cette optique, je trace d&#039;entrée de jeu les grandes lignes de l&#039;histoire personnelle et de l&#039;approche littéraire des principaux auteurs de la Beat Generation, qui n&#039;ont jamais rédige de manifeste. Par la suite, je prociède a une analyse du corpus québécois a partir de thièmes privilégies du mouvement, d&#039;inscriptions textuelles, de citations et de références explicites ou masquées dans des noms de personnages ou de lieux. J&#039;établis aussi les filiations entre les personnages d&#039;un corpus et de l&#039;autre. Il s&#039;agit donc, toujours en restant prés des textes, d&#039;analyser la présence « Beat» au sein du corpus québécois.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

La notion d&#039;origine française est relativement floue, mais la répartition selon les Etats met en valeur les deux principales zones de peuplement franco-américains: la Louisiane et la Nouvelle-Angleterre. La répartition des francophones ressemble à  celle des franco-américains, mais de surcroît, elle révièle l&#039;existence de quelques îlots de francophonie, dans les zones d&#039;immigration contemporaine. La comparaison avec les italophones et les germanophones confirme l&#039;originalité de la répartition des francophones et témoigne d&#039;un développement autonome de la langue française.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A 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:title><![CDATA[The Need for Bilingual Education in the Schools of Vermont]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Argument toward implementing a bilingual education program in the public schools of the state of Vermont. Written in the context of the 1968 United States congressional discussions about funding bilingual education in general, and the scope of languages to which congress would propose attention. Uses Vermont as a case study in language demographics. Presents the author&#039;s collection of data concerning Vermont language usage, geographic distribution of children with limited English-speaking ability, and other factors pertinent to the federal legislation in question. While the dissertation engages bilingual education as a national phenomenon involving many languages other than English, the specific case of Vermont orientates the author toward the language realities of that state, the bulk of non-English speakers being represented in populations of French-speaking Franco Americans there. Contains an overview of scholarship on bilingualism. ]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Critical reading of Jack Kerouac's most famous novel, "On the Road," through the lens of French mobility in America and Kerouac's Franco American cultural identity. How Kerouac's traveling characters signify and explore the "homelessness" that the article's author associates with the French Canadian and Franco American in the United States.<br /><br />From the author: "This article explores the subterranean layers of 'On the Road,' firstly, approaching them from three perspectives (the dyad routes-roots, ethnogenesis and cultural geography), and secondly, considering the novel within a larger project, the 'Road' project, which allows further insight into the genesis of the 1957 edition and of the original scroll published fifty years later. This article focuses on the relationship between space, identity, travel and nation, and attempts to offer a reading of the author’s French-Canadian and Franco-American invisible ethnicity as a guiding line to the 'On the Road' proto-versions and to the themes developed (travel, mapping the land and the quest for the father[land])."]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Pris de Glottopol, la revue de sociolinguistique en ligne: &quot;Présence invisible dans le champ des littératures francophone et ethnique américaines, la littérature franco-américaine de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, qu&#039;elle s&#039;exprime en français ou en anglais, est la gardienne d&#039;une mémoire francophone, d&#039;un patrimoine culturel et linguistique qui réfute l&#039;oubli. Peggy Pacini analyse la place de la langue française dans quelques romans franco-américains, qui y apparaît sous différentes formes (discours métissé, forme dialectale, français littéraire) et y occupe diverses fonctions (incise, dialogue, narration, monologue). L&#039;image de la langue française dans ces romans permet de mieux comprendre, selon l&#039;auteure, cette dialectique du bon et du mauvais français qui est sûrement à  l&#039;origine de la disparition de cette langue au sein de cette communauté.&quot;...&quot;Triès peu répertoriée, la littérature franco-américaine de la Nouvelle-Angleterre est devenue une présence invisible dans le champ des littératures francophone mais aussi ethnique américaine. Néanmoins, qu&#039;elle s&#039;exprime en français ou en anglais, elle est la gardienne d&#039;une mémoire francophone, d&#039;un patrimoine culturel et linguistique qui réfute l&#039;oubli. Il sera donc question d&#039;analyser la place de la langue française dans ces romans, quelle que soit la forme qu&#039;elle prenne (discours métissé, forme dialectale, français littéraire) et la fonction qu&#039;elle occupe (incise, dialogue, narration, monologue). Pour cela, il faudra recontextualiser l&#039;évolution de cette langue dans ce contexte nord-américain particulier et son rapport à  l&#039;idéologie de la survivance telle qu&#039;elle était véhiculée par le clergé canadien français. De la même façon, l&#039;image de la langue française dans ces romans permet de mieux comprendre cette dialectique du bon et du mauvais français qui est sûrement à  l&#039;origine de la disparition de cette langue au sein de cette communauté.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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[From the author: &quot;In this dissertation, I analyze how local religious figures became holy and the social functions they played, in order to better understand the connections between religion and colonialism and the shaping of faith communities over time. The study covers a broad time period from the early days of French settlement in Canada to the late nineteenth century. The focus falls on New France and the holy persons associated with the early years of settlement when religion and colonization were intimately connected. It was only towards the end of the nineteenth century that these figures were put forward for official recognition by the church in canonization causes, and consequently I conclude the study with an examination of the processes and resulting documents that contributed to the transformation of local holy persons into saints. Throughout the study, I concentrate on the place holy persons occupied in local society both during life and after death as intercessors for the faithful, the meanings they held and presented to their audiences, and the ways they performed the traditions of sanctity. Rituals of holiness were a form of communication. Holy persons and audiences interacted with and influenced one another to create a saint that was efficacious and effective. While faith communities developed around local, family and community networks, hagiographic texts described the lives, deaths and intercessions of select individuals and spread cults of belief. Between performances of holiness and the inscription of holy lives into texts, local saints were made who responded to the needs of their faith communities and became important parts of local religious, social, and cultural life.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

In the final part of the analysis, we examine how Franco-American ethnic identity is defined by the individuals questioned and their views on the future of French language and culture in New England.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Il s&#039;agit d&#039;une série d&#039;éditoriaux rédigés par le directeur de La Sentinelle de Woonsocket, Rhode Island, maitre Elphiège-J. Daignault, ou celui-ci discute de la situation paroissiale et d&#039;éducation au New Hampshire, et plus précisément, dans la Paroisse Saint-Georges de Manchester.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An intimately crafted Franco American cultural history of Manchester, New Hampshire, written by one of its resident historians. From the author of such works as &quot;One Piece in the Great American Mosaic,&quot; &quot;La Presse Franco-Américaine et La Politique,&quot; and &quot;Elpheège-J. Daignault et le mouvement sentinelliste,&quot; among others. From The History Press: &quot;A strong sense of unity and tradition frames a fascinating history of Manchester, New Hampshire&#039;s Franco-American community. Author Robert B. Perreault presents this story through compelling vignettes, including the triumphant success of photographer Ulric Bourgeois, the undeniable conflict between the French and Irish immigrants, and a colorful profile of book collector and author Adélard Lambert. Featuring vintage images from Perreault&#039;s private collection, this work is a stunning visual narrative of the French-Canadian contributions to local culture.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[De l&#039;introduction: &quot;La grande majorité des noms de famille du Québec à  l&#039;heure actuelle sont d&#039;origine française, et on en trouve aussi un grand nombre en Acadie. Hormis les Huguenots qui se sont établis ici et là  aux Etats-Unis aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siiècles, c&#039;est à  partir de ces deux grandes régions que les noms francophones se sont répandus à  travers l&#039;Amérique. Dans la plupart des cas, ils sont les produits des patronymes que portaient les immigrants qui se sont établis en Nouvelle-France au début de la colonie. Au bout de quelque 400 ans, il n&#039;est pas étonnant de retrouver des différences importantes tant au niveau linguistique que distributionnel entre les noms de famille que l&#039;on retrouve en France et ceux du Nouveau Monde. En effet, on peut soutenir que la divergence entre les deux fait de la recherche onomastique en Amérique du nord un domaine tout à  fait indépendant qui, étonnamment, n&#039;a reçu que triès peu de considération si on compare tout le temps et l&#039;effort qui ont été consacrés à  l&#039;étude généalogique de ces noms.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Following the Evangeline Trail : Acadian Identity Performance Across Borders ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The poem &#039;Evangeline: A Tale of Acadie&#039; by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow published in 1847, has had an impact on people for generations. The success of the poem was felt not only by its readership but also by the Acadian culture that the poem, and its heroine, came to represent. Evangeline, as character and poem, has evolved in meaning and popularity over the centuries and still plays a role in the cultural performance of contemporary Acadians....This study of Acadian cultural identity utilizes a performance approach that looks at cultural identity as a performative accomplishment in daily life. The analysis first enacts a performance historiography of the Acadian Deportation in 1755, Longfellow&#039;s poetic representation of this historical event, and the contemporary context of performing Evangeline in the Acadian diaspora. Next it examines the storytelling performances of narrative interviews with five Acadians. Three of these Acadians still live in the land of Evangeline, in Grand-Pre, Nova Scotia, and the other two live in Maine. Retellings of the story of Evangeline and reflections on the poem and character by each of the participants were analyzed for meanings which form and inform contemporary performances of Acadian cultural identity. The performance methodology allows for meanings to emerge from the embodied Acadian storytelling and to contextualize them in cultural and political spheres....&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From the text: &quot; &#039;The Voice of Maine&#039; offers an extraordinary glimpse into the heart and soul of the people of Maine. 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. For millions Maine is a special place, and here both ordinary and well-known people speak openly and clearly about what they find here, how they live, and make a living, far removed from modern urban society.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A history of the United States between 1938 and 1978 that explores the categories and convergences of class, race, and ethnicity.

Begins with the veritable end of the large immigration period in America, moves through the political climate of the 1960s, and concludes with the impacts of American suburbanization, the blurring of categorical boundaries of class and ethnicity, and the strange persistence of class, ethnic, and racial differences amidst the continual shaping of what it means to be a citizen of the United States.]]></dcterms:description>

    <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:title><![CDATA[The Franco-American Parishes of New England : Past, Present, and Future]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay on the birth of French Canadian Roman Catholic national parishes (churches, schools, communities) in New England - their subsequent growth, decline, and transformation as Franco American communities from the early nineteenth century to the twenty-first. 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[Qualitative analysis of self-concepts of college women and their varying attitudes toward gender roles. Based on data collected through questionnaires to women in different types of French Canadian schools - &quot;classical colleges,&quot; &quot;normal schools,&quot; and &quot;family institutions&quot; - in separate regions in Québec. Analysis of survey results explores the effects of how different schools have prepared women for adulthood and citizenship. Presents in numerical data the orientation of these schools and their female students toward prescriptive gender roles. Measures personal traits and family as influences on gender role assumptions within the observed French Canadian populations. Contains an overview of other pertinent sociological research. Written in the context of a period of change in the education system of the Quebec province. From the author: &quot;The problem that this research attempted to solve was how to explain diversity and specificity in role orientation among college women.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Status of French Among Youth in a Bilingual American-Canadian Border Community : The Case of Madawaska, Maine ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Price: &quot;This study examines the status of the French language among young residents of Madawaska, Maine, a US-Canadian border community with a long history of bilingualism and contact with French speakers. This study views language status as having two distinct yet interrelated components: (1) code role, or characteristics associated with the use of a given language or variety, such as attitudes of speakers toward the variety and its use, the proficiency level of speakers, language use patterns, and so forth, and (2) code nature, or the state of the variety in question in terms of syntax, phonology and lexicon. The data, collected by means of four interview tasks, targeted both code role and code nature and sought to determine the general status of French among the younger residents of this community. In addition to the younger subject population, a small adult baseline population was also included in order to compare data across generations, so as to identify not just possible differences in code role, but also in code nature, including the possibility of language loss....The data suggested several trends. First, in terms of code role, young subjects generally reported lower levels of language use, proficiency and exposure to French than did adults. Secondly, not only did high-proficiency young subjects generally report higher scores in these areas than did lower-proficiency subjects, but males tended to score higher than females in this regard. This would suggest that exposure to French, context, language proficiency and gender correlate with language use among this population. Conversely, attitudes do not generally appear to be a salient factor motivating French language use. With regard to code nature, the study found that even the most proficient young speakers demonstrated some important gaps in their grammatical competence, and that the young subject population as a whole exhibited features in their production consistent with language loss. The study concludes that although there are still many individuals with ability in French, the differences between younger and older speakers in terms of both code role and code nature suggest that local French will be lost unless further action is taken to reverse the progress of French language loss among young bilinguals in the community.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Islandport Press: &quot;Family dairy farms are disappearing in Maine and with them, a way of life. 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[From Canadien to American : The Acculturation of French-Canadian Descendants in Lewiston, Maine, 1860 to the Present ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Dissertation from the author of &quot;Loyal but French: The Negotiation of Identity by French-Canadian Descendants in the United States.&quot; From the author: &quot;Using Lewiston, Maine, as a community study, this dissertation examines how individuals of French-Canadian descent negotiated their entry into U.S. society from 1860 to 2001. Descriptive statistics compiled from federal manuscript censuses, city directories, and naturalization records provide portraits of the community at different points in time. The French language newspaper of Lewiston and materials from Catholic archives provide much of the literary evidence in this work....This study challenges our understanding of what we call &quot;assimilation.&quot; It suggests that acculturation rather than &quot;assimilation&quot; better describes the process by which ethnic populations join the host society. Historians tend to oversimplify ethnic preservation and acculturation by depicting them as binary opposites. This study argues that, rather than struggling between ethnic retention and acculturation, French-Canadian migrants and their Franco-American descendants in Lewiston pursued them as intertwined goals from the 1870s to the 1950s. It also contends that their Americanization was anything but linear. Lewiston&#039;s francophones challenged, rejected, or redefined some of the norms of the host society, as they renegotiated their identity in the United States. Yet, modeling good citizenship was integral to their interconnected identity as ethnic Americans. The experiences of Lewiston&#039;s French-Canadian descendants challenge contemporary assumptions about the incompatibility of ethnic retention and Americanization.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From MIT Press Journals: &quot;During the 1920s, the Ku Klux Klan expanded to the northeastern United States, where it confronted Franco-American Catholics throughout Maine. In response, this ethnic population modeled an appropriate resistance to the KKK&#039;s unyielding message of Americanism and nativism, helping to precipitate the demise of this reactionary mass movement.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;This article examines a little-known dimension to the Ku Klux Klan movement in the United States during the 1920s. As Anglo-Canadian Protestants supported the KKK to assert control over French-Canadian and other Catholics in the New England states, they undermined the Klan&#039;s emphasis on Americanism and illustrated an inherent contradiction in this avowedly nativist organization.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The birth of the French Canadian community in Lewiston, Maine, and the developments of a Franco American identity there. Argues for the reexamination of the social history of French Canadians and their descendants in Lewiston, Maine - that Franco American culture and cultural identity are products of a historical process where ethnic Americans negotiated citizenship, tradition, and personhood by a variety of cultural terms more complex than those found in a simple understanding of United States assimilation. Follows the life, transition, and death of the Lewiston periodical &quot;Le Messager,&quot; often as a marker for the state of the Lewiston Franco community&#039;s vitality. A history of French Canadian institutions in Lewiston.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;While many studies have focused on the migration, settlement, and community formation of French-Canadian immigrants in the United States, we know little about the history of their Franco-American descendants in the twentieth century. Through the vehicle of the parish study, we can explore the continuing struggle between survivance and assimilation. An examination of the Sainte-Famille parish in Lewiston, Maine, sheds light on the assimilation of Franco-Americans into U.S. society over the course of the twentieth century. In particular, it highlights the role of the parish in promoting assimilation.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
