    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Un texte historique complet sur les immigrants canadiens français dans la Nouvelle Angleterre, et la développement d&#039;un indentité franco-américain aux ètats-Unis. Reportage de la période entre 1840 et 1980. Un des textes le plus bien connu, aussi que le plus exhaustif, sur ce sujet jusqu&#039;à  aujourd&#039;hui. Pour Roby, l&#039;idée le plus important qui est souligné dans son étude entier, c&#039;est la question de &quot;la survivance&quot; vers le siiècle dernier.  De Septentrion: &quot;Yves Roby a consacré 30 ans de recherche et de réflexion à  ce sujet et nous trace un portrait éclairant sur le processus d&#039;évolution de l&#039;identité de ces émigrés et de leurs familles en sol américain.En effet, si les premiières vagues ont maintenu tant bien que mal leur héritage, s&#039;identifiant comme Canadiens français vivant aux ètats-Unis, il faut se demander ce qu&#039;il en est devenu des millions de leurs descendants aujourd&#039;hui appelés Franco-Américains ? Décrire les représentations que ces Québécois émigrés en Nouvelle-Angleterre et leur descendance se font d&#039;eux-mêmes, tel est l&#039;objet de cet ouvrage.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Ce chapitre traite des &lt;i&gt;Francos&lt;/i&gt; - les Franco-Américains d&#039;héritage canadien-français dans le nord-est des États. Prémiièrement, une discussion historique sur des aspects agricoles et industriels de l&#039;immigration canadienne-française en Nouvelle-Angleterre, et ces vagues de migration marquées par trois guerres américaines: La guerre de Sécession, la Prémiière Guerre mondiale, la Deuxiième Guerre mondiale. Un développement des communautés franco-américaines comme lié à  l&#039;autorité de l&#039;Église catholique. L&#039;affaire Flint et le Mouvement Sentinelliste. Deuxiièmement, témoignages des &lt;i&gt;Francos&lt;/i&gt; d&#039;aujourd&#039;hui. Des pensées sur l&#039;héritage culturel français - et sa rôle dans la vie quotidienne - dans la Nouvelle-Angleterre.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Les noms de famille du Canada français : origines et évolution]]></dcterms:title>
    <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:description><![CDATA[De Boudreau et Frenette: &quot;Dans cet article, nous examinons l&#039;évolution des stratégies familiales des francophones de la Nouvelle-Angleterre dans la longue durée. En prenant la communauté de Lewiston comme étude de cas, nous nous penchons sur trois périodes : celle de la migration de masse, caractérisée par la primauté de la famille comme unité socio-économique, celle de l&#039;implantation ethnique, qui voit les stratégies se modifier, sous l&#039;impact de facteurs matériels et idéologiques. Apparaît alors uni, démarcation entre les stratégies des Canadiens français originaires du Québec et celles des Franco-Américains nés aux États-Unis, la période d&#039;acculturation rapide, ù la relation famille-individu devient inversée, les stratégies visant désormais le bien-être de l&#039;individu. Toutefois, la famille continue d&#039;être l&#039;agent de socialisation de base, une fonction qui inclut parfois la transmission de l&#039;ethnicité franco-américaine.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Collection de lettres ouvertes écrites &quot;à  mon ami&quot; par un ancien curé pour les Franco-Américains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre en 1930. ècrits philosophiques et théologiques sur le thième de &quot;la question nationale&quot; ou &quot;la question franco-américaine,&quot; de déterminer si et comment les Franco-Américains peuvent rester français et américains aux ètats-Unis, ou si leur langue, leur religion et leur culture seraient mieux servis par leur retour au Canada. Cette question est explorée à  travers le cadre des chapitres suivants, chacun étant sa propre lettre ouverte: Préface Dédicace Introduction Patriotisme Drapeau Histoire Pays Nation Gouvernment Patrie Langue Langue maternelle Traditions Nationalité  L&#039;attitude de l&#039;auteur est peut-être capturé dans la citation suivante de sa préface: &quot;Ils prétendent que les Franco-Américains ne peuvent conserver leur religion qu&#039;en restant Canadiens, et ils posent en principe que, pour eux, s&#039;américaniser, c&#039;est se protestantiser; que perdre leur langue, c&#039;est perdre leur religion....Que les Franco-Américains, qui ne savent l&#039;anglais, demandent des pretres qui parlent leur langue, c&#039;est tout naturel; aussi personne ne pense de les en blâmer, parce que c&#039;est une nécessité que les circonstances leur imposent. Mais c&#039;est autre chose de poser en principe absolu que les Franco-Americains, du fait qu&#039;ils sont d&#039;origine française, doivent être desservis en français....Il est donc souverainement important de prendre les choses telles qu&#039;elles sont, car là  seulement est la vérité....Ce que nous cherchons, vous et moi, dans cette discussion de la question franco-américaine, c&#039;est la vérité, sachant que la vérité vraie peut seule nous rendre libres de l&#039;erreur...&quot;(7-9).]]></dcterms:description>

The myth consists of four distinct claims: first, that European immigrants wanted to shed their Old World ways and to become American, second, that Americanization was quick and easy because the immigrants found no significant obstacles thrown in their path, third, that Americanization &#039;melted&#039; the immigrants into a single race, culture, or nation, unvarying across space and time, and fourth, that immigrants experienced Americanization as emancipation from servitude, deference, poverty, and other Old World constraints....I focus on literature generated since World War I on European immigration from 1880 to 1920, the era of the so-called new immigrants.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Linguistic study from the University of Vermont. From Cambridge University Press: &quot;The present study examines the pattern of the variation of the auxiliary avoir and être in the passé composé tense in Vermont French in 22 adult speakers who migrated from Québec or are first-generation Franco-Americans. The purpose of the study is to determine if the process of replacement of être by avoir in progress in Canadian French is also taking place in Vermont and which linguistic and social constraints influence this linguistic change.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Living Arrangements : Race, Ethnicity and Nationality in the Liberal State ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;Liberals usually argue that cultural identity can flourish in the private sphere but should not matter in public. This argument is blind to the way liberal institutions affect cultural identity, the prejudices that members of some groups face, and the need for there to be only one or two public languages in most modern states. To fill this gap in liberal theory, I divide cultural groups into three: racial, ethnic and national groups. I explore this gap by looking at four groups: American Jews, the Amish, Black Americans and French Canadians....I argue that liberal citizenship transforms ethnic identity, making it difficult though not impossible to maintain strong ethnic ties in the liberal state. I defend these effects on ethnic identity, though I also argue that there is often too much pressure on ethnics to give up their particular practices. Liberal citizenship, though, has not transformed the identity of the Amish, who maintain their identity through a voluntary radical separation from the rest of society. The Amish treasure hierarchical and patriarchal illiberal values, but liberal toleration means that the liberal state should do little about this. Black Americans also have a distinctive culture, not from voluntary separation, but as a consequence of racism. For Blacks to gain equal citizenship, the liberal state must work to make Black citizenship visible and allow Blacks to bypass the effects of racism. This is contrary to the usual liberal argument of making issues of identity private matters. If Blacks gain liberal citizenship their identity would change considerably, just as liberal citizenship has transformed ethnic identity....Many people claim their cultural identity is tied to a particular language, yet most languages have a hard time surviving in industrialized, liberal states. I explain the conditions that languages need to survive. I contend, paradoxically, that because liberalism transforms ethnic identity, liberalism increases the importance of language to the identity of some. While liberalism and nationalism are usually antagonistic, I sketch out a compromise between language-based nationalism and liberalism. I end the dissertation by pointing out the implications my argument has for educational policy and for liberal theory.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

A history of French Canadian institutions in Lewiston. Based on Richard&#039;s doctoral dissertation, &quot;From Canadien to American: The Acculturation of French-Canadian Descendants in Lewiston, Maine, 1860 to the Present.&quot; Richard is a Lewiston, Maine, native and associate director of the Center for the Study of Canada/Institute on Quebec Studies at SUNY Plattsburgh.]]></dcterms:description>

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

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

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>

In stirring photographs and text, &#039;Manchester: The Mill and the Immigrant Experience&#039; examines the aspirations, the struggles, and the everyday adventures of Manchester&#039;s immigrant families. Reaffirming the power of photography to move and inform us, &#039;Manchester: The Mills and the Immigrant Experience&#039; creates a vivid picture of life during nearly a century of rapid industrial change. We join the bustle of Elm and Hanover Streets in the 1880s, witness children working at the mighty Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, enter a Greek coffeehouse in the early 1900s, get caught up in the bitter labor strikes of the 1920s, and meet unusual local figures such as the Hermit of Mosquito Pond.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms: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 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>

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Migration, Family, and Gender : A Longitudinal Analysis of French-Canadian Immigrants in Lowell, Massachussetts, 1900-1920 ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Takai: &quot;&#039;Migration, Family, and Gender: A Longitudinal Study of French-Canadian Immigrants in Lowell , Massachusetts , 1900-1920,&#039; explores migration from French Canada to a New England urban centre of the textile industry, Lowell, Massachusetts. During the period under study, both Québec and New England underwent significant socioeconomic transformation. This work analyses the impact of these changes on the process of migration and settlement. It also sheds light on the diverse ways in which French-Canadian men, women, and children responded to new realities in an urban industrial society. In order to investigate these issues, it is necessary to consider this migration as a phenomenon which consisted of a series of processes and not as a linear progression towards inevitable assimilation or Americanization. It is also crucial to emphasize the importance of introducing a gendered perspective in order to recognize the diversity of strategies devised by immigrant men and women as well as the cooperation and tensions they experienced in the process of migration and settlement....This thesis joins recent scholarship in criticizing a perspective that has described all immigrant behaviour as necessarily reflecting one set of culturally predetermined norms and customs. Contrary to the stereotyped image of French Canadians as immobile and fatalistic habitants, evidence from this study shows that they were a highly mobile people for whom migration was a pondered response to the structural changes that were radically reshaping Québec and New England societies. It is argued that the behaviour of Lowell&#039;s French-Canadian immigrants in the early twentieth century did not merely reflect the cultural transplantation of habitant values, but also the attempts of working-class immigrant families to survive and cope with significant socioeconomic transformation occurring to both Québec and New England. The diversity in the recorded patterns of movements on the part of French Canadians is indicative of their strategic autonomy and flexibility in adjusting to new socioeconomic realities....This study also seeks to redress a major gender imbalance in the historical studies of immigrants by devoting considerable attention to women. Not only did women&#039;s lives differ from those of their male counterparts; there was also great variation in the extent to which women assumed financial and domestic tasks. Such diversity, I assert, in the patterns of women&#039;s paid work was defined not only by age or marital status, but also by a combination of factors such as household organization, living arrangements, and the availability of child care. Immigrant families harboured complex interpersonal dynamics where different and, at times, conflicting interests had to be negotiated in not necessarily equal terms, but in accordance to each member&#039;s power and authority within the family and the larger society.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;Although the originally French speaking Franco-American communities of Southbridge, Massachusetts, and Woonsocket, Rhode Island, have much in common historically, language shift toward English has advanced to differing degrees in the two locations. In this dissertation, I explore morphosyntactic variation and the advance of language shift in the two locations using historical documentation, U.S. census figures and sociolinguistic interviews conducted with sixty-nine informants....After comparing and contrasting the sociolinguistic profiles of the two communities, I describe some of the linguistic consequences of the shift from French to English in these traditional Franco-American centers through a quantitative variationist analysis of two morphosyntactic variables.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Mutational Analyses of Tay-Sachs Disease : Studies on Tay-Sachs Carriers of French Canadian Background Living in New England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Paper in biochemistry and molecular biology describing certain genetic mutations found in French Canadians and Franco Americans, exploring if or how they relate to the science of Tay-Sachs disease, a genetic disorder causing rapid mental and physical deterioration. From the authors: &quot;Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) results from mutations in HEXA that cause Hex A deficiency. Heterozygote-screening programs have been applied in groups with an increased TSD incidence, such as Ashkenazi Jews and French Canadians in Quebec. These programs are complicated by benign mutations that cause apparent Hex A deficiency but not TSD. Benign mutations account for only approximately 2% of Jewish and approximately 36% of non-Jewish enzyme-defined carriers. A carrier frequency of 1/53 (n = 1,434) was found in an ongoing prospective analysis of persons of French Canadian background living in New England by using an enzyme-based assay. DNA from enzyme-defined carriers from this population was analyzed to determine the molecular basis of Hex A deficiency. Samples (36) were tested for common mutations, and samples that were negative for these were screened for uncommon or novel mutations by using SSCP analysis. Exons showing mobility shifts were sequenced, and most mutations were confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion. Known disease-causing mutations were found in nine samples (four had a 7.6-kb deletion found in 80% of French Canadian TSD alleles), and known benign mutations were found in four samples. Seven novel changes were identified, including G748A in four samples. The molecular basis of Hex A deficiency in this carrier population differs from that of French Canadian TSD patients. Screening centers should be aware of the presence of benign mutations among U.S. French Canadians or Franco-Americans.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;In New England, as elsewhere in the United States, colleges and universities offer degrees in languages, but few make courses in the history of those languages mandatory. 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[Brault&#039;s essay is an explanation of the results of language tests taken by nine Franco-American French speakers, his evaluation of their levels of vocabulary, and his observations of their speech habits. The overall conclusion of his study partially reads: &quot;The following partial tabulation of a Preliminary Classification Test administered to all nine informants demonstrates the fact that the two levels in the Franco-American phonetic system normally have a lexical correlation. In other words, if a Franco-American at Level 1 (i.e. that level farthest from standard French) succeeds in raising his speech phonetically to Level 2 (i.e. an intermediate level between Level 1 and standard French), his vocabulary will normally reveal a similar degree of switching to modern French.&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[On Maintaining a Francophone Identity in Cohoes, NY]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;One third of the population of Cohoes, New York, is descended from French-Canadians who immigrated to the northeastern United States between 1840 and 1930. Since the end of immigration, the close-knit community centered on the French parish has undergone profound changes and French has ceased to be the language of everyday communication among its members. This paper describes the characteristic behaviors and attitudes which set the remaining Cohoes French speakers off as a group from other minority language communities and help them maintain their francophone identity.&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. Measures how these three categories factored into World War II, the Cold War, and the Vietnam War. 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[Essay written in 1976, &quot;in the spirit of the [United States&#039;] Bicentennial,&quot; recognizing the Franco Americans as a distinct and significant ethnic group in American history. The 38-page piece begins its observations at the 1524 French explorations of North America, from where it moves into New France, to rural life in Quebec and the revolutionary war in the US, and into the hundred years of French Canadian community development in immigrant New England. For this author, the history of the United States, Quebec, and France converge on the Franco Americans of the New England states. The text concludes with a list of &quot;Who&#039;s Who&quot; among Franco Americans, as well as a bibliography of relevant resources. The piece is also published in its entirety in a 1976 quarterly of the Association canado-américaine, &quot;Two Hundred Years of Freedom.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Our Place in Line is a 20,000-year odyssey of daring, imagination, and endurance offered to those who seek to trace their earliest roots from ancient Gaul to the twenty-first century United States via Feudal France and Colonial Quebec. This is a comprehensive exploration of surname origins with ancestral profiles representing a broad cross-section of Old Regime France. The narration also provides a blueprint for Quebecois descendants to trace their specific ancestral participants in the century-long French and Indian Wars. Witness this personal account of Francophone heritage profiling several families who settled in the manufacturing communities of Lewiston and Auburn, Maine, following the great nineteenth and twentieth century French-Canadian migration to the United States<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Phonological Variables in a New England French Speech Community ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The first section of the present study consists of a historical survey of the Franco-American community, examining those factors, such as the existence of a network of bilingual parochial schools, which were significant for language maintenance efforts. It is observed that French/English bilingualism in New England has seriously declined in the last twenty years, and that organized attempts to provide for its survival are now limited primarily to the state of Maine. The second section of this study specifies the lexical, morphological and syntactic characteristics which distinguish New England French (NEF) from Standard French (SF), based on a corpus of written and oral documents of recent origin. The results obtained are compared with those reported in studies of Canadian French, and in earlier studies of NEF. It is shown that no structural innovations have emerged in NEF which are not also attested in Canadian and other popular varieties of French. The influence of English is primarily restricted to the borrowing of words, but the use of anglicisms is often subject to ridicule. Systematic change in NEF tends to be in the direction of convergence with SF. Synchronically, a continuum of speech style is observed, whose lower or informal levels are characterized by features shared with the French of rural Québec, and whose higher or more formal levels are characterized by corresponding features of SF....The third section consists of an analysis of the present state of the phonology of NEF, and is based on a corpus collected in interviews with six informants in Manchester, New Hampshire. Sixteen phonological rules are formulated, defining elements which distinguish NEF from SF. It is shown that some of these features are being lost as NEF incorporates standard elements. Many of these elements which are avoided in formal speech situations by speakers with more exposure to SF, however, tend to occur frequently or predominantly in less formal situations. The sixteen phonological processes are subjected to partial ordering in terms of an implicational scale, according to whether they are more or less resistant to change. It is shown that those processes which entail only superficial (phonetic) differences between NEF and SF are more likely to be retained, while those processes which entail underlying (morphophonemic) differences are more likely to be lost.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Also featured, in abridged form, in the Massachusetts Review (see &#039;Journal Articles&#039;). From the author: &quot;This thesis introduces the concept of imaginative colonization in postcolonial literary and cultural studies, which has a particular relevance to the literatures of North America. It argues that the postcolonial experiences of the former colonies of England and France in the Americas, particularly the United States and French Canada, have been primarily conditioned by their relations to each other and not by their relations to the former colonizing power. Imaginative colonization occurs when one former colony, using the means of the cross-border narrative and/or the postmodern recuperation of history, reimagines another not as an autonomous cultural entity, but as a feature of its own history, language, ideology, and even cartography. Focusing especially on Henry Thoreau&#039;s travelogue, &#039;A Yankee in Canada&#039; (1866) and Jacques Poulin&#039;s postmodern novel, &#039;Volkswagen Blues&#039; (1984), but taking into account the entire history of French Canadian-American relations, this thesis establishes that the practice of imaginative colonization in North American literatures is parallel but nonsynchronous: both American and French Canadian literature go through the same developmental stages of decolonization and postcolonial imaginative colonization, even though they do so in different centuries. The examples presented also indicate that imaginative colonization blurs the established dividing lines between works of fact and fiction and that it occurs in both French and English.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Kanzler: &quot;The Black History movement of the 1960s, the White Ethnic awareness of the 1970s and current developments in the Hispanic and Asian communities throughout the United States emphasize the significance of ethnicity as a major factor in the analysis of American nationality. These circumstances along with an increasing appreciation of social history as a critical area of research have stimulated new quests into the complexity and ramifications of the social processes of becoming an American....This study focuses on the various processes implied in the migration and settlement of French Canadian immigrants in Manchester, New Hampshire 1875-1925....The second part of the work applies the historical research in an educational setting to test the effectiveness of case study methodology. Using the historical findings in fictionalized form, a French Canadian family is traced from its migration to Manchester through processes of acculturation and adjustment. Control and experimental groups in two secondary U.S. History classes are tested for cognitive achievement and positive attitudes toward cultural diversity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

How studying these nuns in New England adds to an understanding about French Canadian ethnic identity and its real function among New England parishes.  Challenges to a specific French Canadian, Franco American ethnoreligious discourse historically dominated by male priests. Case study of les Petites Franciscaines de Marie (PFM), or the Little Franciscans of Mary, whose religious order was established in Worcester, Massachusetts. From the author: &quot;[T]his essay will consider how shifting our focus from male church officials to female religious can alter our understanding of the relationship between religious and ethnic identities&quot; (516). &quot;Did female religious side with male priests in defending their ethnic turf against bishops whom they perceived as hostile and assimilationist? Alternatively, could nuns not have cared less about connections between their religious identity and their ethnic identity? Or did they understand the relationship between the two in some other way completely?&quot; (518)]]></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:title><![CDATA[Resisting the Melting Pot: The long term impact of maintaining identity for Franco-Americans in New England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Approximately 1 million French-Canadians moved to the United States, mainly between 1865 and 1930, and most settled in neighboring New England. In 1900 almost a fifth of all persons born in French Canada lived in the U.S. These migrants exerted considerable efforts to maintain their language and to replicate their home country institutions, most notably the schooling system, in their new country. For decades, this resistance to assimilation generated considerable attention and concern in the U.S. The concerns are strikingly similar to those often invoked today in discussions of immigration from Hispanic countries, notably Mexico. Mexicans may not be assimilating into mainstream America as European immigrants did. We look at the convergence in the educational attainment of French Canadian immigrants across generations relative to native English-speaking New Englanders and to European Roman Catholic immigrants. The educational attainment of Franco-Americans lagged that of their fellow citizens over a long period of time. By the time of the 2000 Census, they appear to have largely achieved parity. The effects of World War II, especially military service, were very important in speeding up the assimilation process through a variety of related channels: educational attainment, language assimilation, marrying outside the ethnic group, and moving out of New England. Economic assimilation was very gradual because of the persistence of ethnic enclaves.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A review of Béatrice Craig&#039;s &quot;Backwoods Consumers and Homespun Capitalists: The Rise of a Market Culture in Eastern Canada&quot; (University of Toronto Press, 2007). From Bittermann, provided by Project MUSE: &quot;Backwoods Consumers and Homespun Capitalists examines the history of rural life in the Madawaska region of the Upper Saint John River Valley from early non-Indigenous settlement in the 1780s to the closing years of the third quarter of the nineteenth century. Thus, although the title suggests otherwise, it is a story that unfolds primarily within the history of British North America and the United States rather than the new Canadian nation-state. Although cast in large part as an exploration of questions raised by a literature concerning the presence or absence of capitalism in rural North America, Craig&#039;s study offers valuable insights to those who have little patience with the transition debate and who believe that wading into that quagmire simply generates more mud(dle).&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

By the end of 1972, the succeeded in establishing a formal Franco-American program. They succeeded for several reasons. Like some Franco-Americans of their time, they felt acutely the loss of their ethnic group&#039;s former ties to a proud French-Canadian heritage. They learned from other movements of their own time how to go about redefining their group&#039;s identity, and the administration of the University of Maine, Orono, provided some of the material resources that the group needed in order to make it a formally established program.&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[A history of the coastal and industrial city of Saco, Maine, from its inception to the 1950s. Written by a Saco native. The inside cover reads: &quot;In a rich and vivid history, documented with record, with facts bearing evidence of infinitely rewarding research, Roy P. Fairfield has depicted Saco from its beginning up to the fast-moving present wherein, even now, remains a nostalgic aura of simpler days along elm-shaded streets that have seen three centuries of pulsing life. And throughout this volume, striking for its fidelity to place and time and atmosphere, the author has never for a moment lost sight of that irreplaceable thing - the human dimension.&quot;]]></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:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;This dissertation adds a missing piece to the history of the American working class by documenting an overlooked category of low-income housing and the ways in which these self-reliant communities were assigned cultural meanings at odds with their physical form. Using sources that range from photographs and oil paintings to novels and sheet music, the dissertation traces the shanty house type from frontier homesteads to urban shantytowns in turn-of-the-century New York and Brooklyn. It also examines their evolving cultural construction. Presented as domestic by their working-poor builders, shantytowns were nonetheless perceived as degraded by middle-class observers. This had public policy consequences, as shantytowns were razed and outlawed during the last decades of the nineteenth century.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;This thesis explains and analyzes the phenomenon of seasonal, long-term winter travel to Florida, travelers that South Floridians have called &#039;snowbirds.&#039; It demonstrates what pushed and pulled [Canadian and American] snowbirds to Florida, analyzes their journey south, their settlement patterns and housing choices, their tendency to congregate together, the forms of their sociability. It mostly defines snowbirds as migrants who, down South, build communities of kindred spirits. In the fragmented built landscape of 20th-century Florida, the congregation of snowbirds produced unique forms of socialization and, we argue, of community. These unique settlements have uniquely influenced Floridians&#039; debates about their own community-building issue, while playing a part in Northerners&#039; views about Florida, the South, the North, the United States and Canada.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[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:description><![CDATA[Fitchburg and Worcester, Massachusetts, as cities atypical of Franco American communities in the 19th century. Focuses on the specific industries, demography, and institutional developments in these cities that serve to break the better-known pattern model of what is known as &quot;the New England mill town.&quot; From the author: &quot;[This study] uses an ecological approach to explore the occupational make-up, settlement patterns, institutional development, and demographic tendencies of the French-Canadians in these two industrially diversified cities as compared to &#039;Spindle Cities&#039;....This is a departure from standard works on Franco-Americans....It examines a region and its social groups to see middle range social phenomena.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Presentation of research on &quot;ethnolinguistic vitality&quot; among French-English bilingual students in the schools of Maine&#039;s St. John River Valley.  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>

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Alliance Française, Empire and America]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An essay describing France&#039;s Alliance Francaise, an internationally established cultural institution dedicated to promoting the French language and fostering dialogue with, about, and around French culture throughout the world. A history of the Alliance in the United States, with particular emphasis on its early 20th-century iterations, and on both the &quot;colonial&quot; and &quot;republican&quot; qualities its mission once embodied (229, 233). The Alliance&#039;s engagement with different Franco American communities, especially those in New England. From the author: &quot;By giving voice to different constituencies within the French diasporic family, and by creating spaces for cultural exchange, the Alliance has helped to define the contours of New World Francophone identities&quot; (abstract). Includes the segments, &quot;French republicanism at work,&quot; &quot;The Alliance Francaise and Franco-America,&quot; and &quot;The Alliance Francaise and la francophonie.&quot; From the author: &quot;The Alliance Française is in many respects an intermediary between French America&#039;s past and present&quot; (240).]]></dcterms:description>

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

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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>
