    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay exploring the 1930s Federal Writers&#039; Project interview of Indian Island, Maine, resident and canoe maker, Henry Mitchell, transcribed by Old Town native, Robert Grady. Arguments favoring the particularly modern quality of the dually-authored interview, as compared to outside depictions of Native Americans in the local Maine literatures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. How early 20th-century Old Town business and local government perpetuated the construction of stereotyped and antiquated Penobscot cultural categories and descriptions - aesthetically, linguistically, or in terms of work and leisure. How the literary output of the Federal Writers&#039; Project played into this sort of identity construction on a more diverse, national scale, and in what ways singular FWP interactions like those between Grady and Mitchell challenged both the national project and the local cultural categories it sometimes reinforced. What the Mitchell/Grady interview owes to the relationship out of which it was born, Grady&#039;s other interviews mostly conducted with Franco Americans in Old Town.]]></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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Some perspectives on North American, French Canadian Catholic female religious at the beginning of the 20th century. 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[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[Discussion of &quot;border culture&quot; as a product of both the divisions and the transnational cultural and political relationships apparent in societies that share a geopolitical boundary. Exploration of &quot;borderlands theory&quot; as a means for considering the origins, functions, and development of national borders in a globalizing world. Specific focus on the boundary between the United States and Canada, on what the authors call &quot;the multiple layers of border&quot; - political, social, economic, legal, cultural -  and how they are woven organically though communities on each side of the dividing boundary. How borders shape and help us to think about human culture. From the authors: &quot;In the process of globalization it is border culture that ultimately sustains linkages, assures continuity and maintains prosperity between bounded states. In this essay we explore how border culture works, and how the conceptualization of border culture advances our understanding of how borders work. Our approach is to establish a place for the consideration of culture in the more extensive debates about border theory through a focus on the Canada-U.S. border, and how this border advances our knowledge of border culture and border theory.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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>

Article based on mixed-methods research - the Older Worker Study - including interviews with Maine home health workers: discussion of financial status, family status, work history, and attitudes toward age and experience.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Spacing of Births Among French-Canadian Families : An Historical Approach]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;This article stresses on two aspects of demography. The first aspect is a historical and geographical analysis of the spacing of births among French-Canadians and the second one is the possibilities of using genealogies as sources of data which can yield demographic information. When official computations are not available, the development of demographic data based on family genealogies may give analysts some indication of past performances within societies. Genealogies thus provide a rich source of  information for both Canadian and American historical demographers. When proper methodological techniques are applied to these data, they yield results which then permit one to draw conclusions about demographic behavior. The data for the  present article are derived from a longer study dealing with historical demographic changes among French-Canadians between 1650 and 1950. The genealogy of one French-Canadian family is the source of information utilized in this report. The paper is intended to contribute additional information on changing patterns of child spacing over time and space.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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>

On constate que le nombre d&#039;emprunts à  l&#039;anglais dans le discours français est comparable à  plusieurs points de vue à  celui d&#039;autres communautés francophones minoritaires en Amérique du Nord, soit en général moins de 1%. De plus, on observe un certain degré de variation sociologique, les hommes empruntant davantage que les femmes, tout comme les plus a?gés par rapport aux plus jeunes. Quoique triès limitée, cette analyse exploratoire indique que des perceptions et des jugements parfois subjectifs demandent une étude plus approfondie et à  partir de données nombreuses et représentatives.&quot; ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;This paper describes the current situation of Franco-American French. The discussion is based on interviews with 275 speakers from eight communities: Van Buren, Waterville, and Biddeford, Maine, Berlin, New Hampshire, Southbridge and Gardner, Massachusetts, Bristol, Connecticut, and Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Our analysis confirms that French has not been transmitted to the youngest generations and that its domains of use are highly restricted. Nevertheless, the majority of speakers still use the language often (18%) if not daily (44%). Our findings suggest that French still plays a central role in the lives of its speakers despite their decreasing numbers.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[De Fox, Fortin, Martin, et Stelling: &quot;Le terme «franco-américain» s&#039;emploie pour désigner les immigrants canadiens arrivés au nord-est des États-Unis pendant une période s&#039;étalant de 1840 à  1930. Catholiques et francophones, ils y ont établi des communautés resserrées et un réseau d&#039;institutions religieuses, scolaires et sociales afin de maintenir leur religion, leur langue, et leur mode de vie traditionnel. Cependant, l&#039;évolution rapide qu&#039;a connue ce groupe depuis les soixante derniières années a déclenché un débat sur sa définition : comment les Franco-Américains se caractérisent-ils actuellement? Partagent-ils encore une identité commune? La présente étude cherche à  contribuer à  la discussion en se servant de témoignages oraux provenant d&#039;entretiens sociolinguistiques réalisés aupriès de 130 habitants de quatre villes: Woonsocket (Rhode Island), Southbridge et Gardner (Massachussetts) et Bristol (Connecticut). Deux analyses quantitatives de ces données nous permettent d&#039;obtenir une vue d&#039;ensemble de la question identitaire. Puis, nous nous penchons sur les particularités de chaque communauté dans une série d&#039;analyses qualitatives. La synthièse de ces différentes analyses nous permet de constater que les quatre communautés connaissent un processus d&#039;assimilation dont le rythme et les caractéristiques diffièrent considérablement d&#039;une communauté à  l&#039;autre. Même si un grand nombre d&#039;entre-eux utilisent toujours l&#039;étiquette franco-américaine pour se décrire, les Franco-Américains se limitent désormais à  une conception identitaire qui évolue au sein de leur propre communauté sans référence à  une culture supra-communautaire.&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>

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[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[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>

Arguing that oral history is unique in its ability to stand for identities that have been largely overlooked, the author conducts interviews with second-generation Franco American women in order, as she says, &quot;to recover a history that conventional sources find difficult to access.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Depuis une cinquantaine d&#039;années, l&#039;école a pris le relais de la famille comme principal lieu de transmission de la langue française, ce qui n&#039;est pas sans représenter un certain nombre de défis en ce qui a trait à  la nature du français à  enseigner.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <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[From the author:&quot;Although most French-Canadian surnames bear a strong resemblance to those found in France today, many have undergone various types of orthographical and phonological alterations which make them unique in the French-speaking world. Further contributing to this singularity is the admixture of a substantial number of French names from other countries (Belgium, Switzerland) as well as non-French names from France (Basque Country, Brittany, Alsace-Lorrain) and elsewhere (Germany, Ireland, United States, Spain, etc.) This article is an attempt to provide an account of the origins and development of this amalgam of family names.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Some of the author&#039;s reflections on his narrative choices - his characters&#039; accents, dialects, and dictions - in his first French language novel, &quot;Le Petit Mangeur de Fleurs.&quot; Some thoughts on the relationships and distinctions between continental French, French Canadianisms, and Franco American dialect, and the inspiring phenomena of words with strange translations, or words without traceable origins. Concludes with a list of &quot;some of the gems of the Franco dialect&quot; : terms, Canadianisms, which carry specific cultural weight, and their translations. The author&#039;s hope of encouraging discussion about other such gems, though especially those not yet found in dictionaries.]]></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>

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

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

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

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

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

Born in St. Louis in 1850, Kate O&#039;Flaherty was raised by wealthy, feisty widows and educated by brilliant nuns. She endured a mysterious &#039;outrage&#039; committed against her by Union soldiers in her teens and suffered what moderns now call a &#039;loss of voice.&#039; But she survived to become a lively, dangerously clever social observer.&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:description><![CDATA[Biography of Manchester, New Hampshire author Grace Metalious. Famous for her novel &quot;Peyton Place&quot; and its various film adaptations. Emily Toth is also the biographer of novelist Kate Chopin.<br />
<br />
From University Press of Mississippi: &quot;The juicy biography of the scandalous novelist who lifted the lid off a New England town...Grace Metalious, an unpretentious housewife from the wrong side of the tracks, had written an explosive bestseller. From a ramshackle cottage in a small New England milltown, she zoomed to national stardom. She met movie stars, famous writers, and the hangers-on who gravitate to those who achieve sudden wealth. She partied with the glamorous; she traveled; always a generous friend, she entertained lavishly. It was a Cinderella dream. But it did not last....Grace refused to be confined by the fifties&#039; notions of a woman&#039;s place. In her struggle to find herself, she lifted the lid off sex and violence, power and powerlessness, truth and hypocrisy, and became known as the Pandora in Blue Jeans. &#039;If I&#039;m a lousy writer,&#039; she said, &#039;then an awful lot of people have got lousy taste.&#039;...Emily Toth has given us a complete and sympathetic portrait of Grace: the idealistic young scribbler, the partier, the sometimes reluctant wife and mother. Tracing the television shows, the films, the Peyton Place sequels and later novels, Toth shows Grace plagued by periods of self-doubt and loneliness, striving desperately and feeling pressured to create another &#039;hit.&#039;&quot;<br />

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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>

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