    <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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[De Septentrion: &quot;Au début du XXe siiècle, priès de la moitié de la population d&#039;origine canadienne-française vivait à  l&#039;extérieur du Québec, en Nouvelle-Angleterre pour la plupart. Cette saignée démographique aurait pu contribuer à  l&#039;établissement d&#039;une société francophone vigoureuse et dynamique aux États-Unis. Mais, au milieu des années 1970, le dominicain Thomas-Marie Landry signera l&#039;acte de déciès de ce rêve pieux tandis que les élites franco-américaines considéreront cette tentative comme un échec. Toutefois, pour ceux qui ont choisi de s&#039;installer aux États-Unis d&#039;abord et avant tout pour améliorer leur sort et celui de leurs enfants, l&#039;anglicisation et l&#039;assimilation apparaissent non comme un échec, mais comme une réussite.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[English translation of Yves Roby&#039;s &quot;Les Franco-Américains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre: Reêves et réalités&quot; - a comprehensive historical text on French Canada&#039;s immigrants to New England and their development of a Franco American identity. Covers the period from 1840 (or near the beginning of en masse Canadian emigration) to 1976. One of the most exhaustive texts on Franco Americans to date, Roby&#039;s work focuses its attention largely on &quot;la survivance&quot; and the prevailing, evolving attitudes toward it in New England. Roby writes, &quot;This work will attempt to describe the conceptions that the French-Canadian emigrants in New England and their descendants have of themselves.&quot;  From McGill-Queen&#039;s University Press: &quot;Between 1840 and 1930, approximately 900,000 people left Quebec for the United States, with the number of French-Canadian colonies in New England&#039;s industrial cities growing rapidly. The first generation of immigrants, who considered themselves French Canadians living in the United States, lived outside of American society as much as possible and sought to recreate their lost motherland. Their children&#039;s situation was different, however, since they did not see themselves as a community creating a distinct society on American soil....  What became of these millions of immigrant descendants?... Roby seeks to explain the genesis and evolution of this group and raises insightful questions regarding not only the Franco-Americans but also the integration of ethnocultural groups into Canadian society and the future of North American Francophonies.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Workers&#039; hobbies, their hangouts, and the impact of their leisure on the workplace and politics in the immigration era. A fresh social history of working-class people not confined to the work space. From Cambridge University Press: &quot;In the first comprehensive study of American working-class recreation, Professor Rosenzweig takes us to the saloons, the ethnic and church picnics, the parks and playgrounds, the amusement parks, and the movie houses where industrial workers spent their leisure hours. Focusing on the city of Worcester, Massachusetts, he describes the profound changes that popular leisure underwent. Explaining what these pastimes and amusements tell us about the nature of working-class culture and class relations in this era, he demonstrates that in order fully to understand the working class experience it is necessary to explore the realm of leisure. For what workers did in the corner saloon, the neighborhood park, the fraternal lodge hall, the amusement park, and the nickelodeon had a good deal of bearing on what happened inside the factories, the union halls, and the voting booths of America&#039;s industrial communities.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Rowe: &quot;This paper traces how hegemonic forces create boundaries through the specific examples of the Lebanese and Franco-Americans in Waterville, Maine. These two immigrant groups entered into Waterville after an English-Scottish Protestant majority had already been established in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The Franco-American immigration from Quebec extended well over a century and the flow of people out of Canada can generally be studied into two distinct waves. People were constantly coming into Waterville from Quebec, and a small number would return to live in Canada after a time. It is also critical to understand that Franco-Americans were settling all over Maine during this same time span and that it is generally accepted that in the state of Maine today at least forty percent of the state has French-Canadian ancestry. In contrast the Lebanese who came to Waterville came during a very specific time period, from about 1890-1920. Their numbers were smaller and there were very few Lebanese who settled elsewhere in Maine.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Pictorial history of the communities in and around the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company&#039;s mill complex in Manchester, New Hampshire. The rise and fall of Amoskeag, in photos. A volume in the broad-ranging &quot;Images of America&quot; series of books. Previously published under the title &quot;A World Within a World.&quot; From Arcadia Publishing: &quot;This fascinating and moving book brings to life the industrial and immigrant experience which gave birth to Manchester in the nineteenth century and continued to shape the city&#039;s destiny well into the twentieth century. More than a hundred years ago, thousands of immigrants from Europe and Canada were drawn to the mills of Manchester by the promise of a better life. 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:description><![CDATA[An impassioned tribute to Marie-Rose Ferron, or &quot;Little Rose,&quot; of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Little Rose is revered in local Catholic mysticism for her experience of the stigmata - the miraculous appearance of the wounds of Christ on her body - and the piety with which she led her short life. This book shares the story of Rose and the Ferron family through recollections, second-hand accounts, and historical research. A unique portrayal of the Franco American community of Woonsocket through the lens of its devout religiosity around the time of the Sentinellist Affair. Features the community&#039;s remembrances, its prayers, the phenomena it attributes to Rose, etc. Strangely crafted, with each chapter filled by often disconnected events related in single paragraphs separated by title headers. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Economic Factors in the Persistence of French-Canadian Identity in New England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Schulz: &quot;French-Canadian immigrants to New England, unlike other ethnic groups in the United States, did not show signs of assimilation into American society until the 1950&#039;s. This thesis examines the history of one French-Canadian community - Sand Hill, in Augusta, Maine. French Canadians came to Augusta in great numbers around the turn of the century to work in the cotton mill. To investigate the retention of French-Canadian identity, French-Canadian immigrants are considered as both an ethnic group and a social class. Evidence drawn from interviews with immigrants and from written accounts shows that economic conditions, such as poverty and lack of education, helped to reinforce French-Canadian isolation from &quot;Yankees&quot; in Augusta. Resistance to assimilation was also promoted by policies and informal practices of two strong local institutions: the French Catholic Church and the textile mill.&quot;  Photographs taken by the thesis author of the Edwards textile mill in Augusta available here.]]></dcterms:description>

How Bourgeois, knowingly or not, worked to preserve a period of Franco American history otherwise obscure and absent from much of the contemporary collective memory. Says Schwartzwald, Bourgeois&#039; Massachusetts and New Hampshire photos &quot;reflect both the perceptions of those in the Franco-American community on their way to becoming owners of larger businesses and professionals, as well as Bourgeois&#039; own experience of community as unity and homogeneity rather than as disparity and tension.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <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[Critical reading of three Franco American oral history interviews from the Federal Writers&#039; Project of the late 1930s. An exploration of how the participants in each interview constructed identities of self and community through the stories they chose to tell and the manners in which the stories were communicated. Begins with explanation of this author&#039;s specific concerns with methods of &quot;critical discourse analysis,&quot; and is contextualized historically with an introduction to the history of New England&#039;s Franco American communities in general. Concludes with questions of the shape and substance of a 21st-century Franco American identity, illustrated in the author&#039;s own self-examination . From the author: &quot;This project explores the social construction of ethnic identity among Franco-Americans, the descendants of French-Canadian immigrants to the northeastern United States....The project concludes with reflections on how the life narratives might inform a postmodern Franco-American ethnic identity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Full title of the film: &quot;Hard Work: &#039;To Make Both Ends Meet&#039; : Maine Women&#039;s Voices, 1888.&quot; From Folkfilms.com: &quot;In 1888 the Maine State Bureau of Industrial and Labor Statistics conducted a survey to assess working conditions for women in the state&#039;s shops and factories. 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>

La présente recherche concerne partculiièrement l&#039;ancien territoire de la communauté de Grande-Riviière devenu le territoire actuel des villes de Van Buren (ME) et de Saint-Léonard (N.B.) depuis l&#039;établissement de la frontiière canado-américaine entre le Nouveau-Brunswick et l&#039;Etat du Maine par le Traité Ashburton-Webster, le 9 août 1842. Apriès 1842, la population de Grande-Riviière établie sur la rive sud de la riviière Saint-Jean devient americaine et celle etablie sur la rive nord reste britannique et plus tard deviendra canadienne....La moitié de cette population acado-canadienne, culturellement homogiène, unie sur le plan politique, administratif ete économique et évoluant avant 1842, autour d&#039;une meme paroisse civile et religieuse, celle de Saint-Bruno, est maintenant rattachée aux structures américaines. Elle a depuis évolué sur les plans administratif, juridique, éducationnel et ecclésiastique selon les stalismes américains. Les deux populations, de Van Burne et de Saint-Léonard, soit américaine ou soit canadienne, ont été intégrées dans des institutions aux idéologies statales quelque peu différentes. Par ce fait, les populations des deux villes doivent avoir aujourd&#039;hui des habitudes de vie et des comportements différents, un sens des valeurs particulier et appartenir à  un monde symbolique distinct.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The published book form of Shideler&#039;s 1991 Ph.D. thesis from the University of Massachusetts. A biographical study of a québécoise and first-generation Franco American author and her works - as a means, Shideler writes, &quot;to identify the position of the immigrant at the juncture of two diverse societies and ways of life&quot; (2). From the publisher: &quot;The inclusion of the ethnic voice in the examination of what has been termed &#039;American&#039; literature is a significant development, but what of the voice of the ethnic woman? This study seeks to answer that question and, at the same time, shed light on the effects exercised by the act of immigration as well as on the specific fate of French-Canadian immigrants to the United States at the turn of the century....&quot; Lessard-Bissonnette is perhaps best known for her serialized novel entitled, &quot;Canuck,&quot; about a French-Canadian immigrant to industrial New England.]]></dcterms:description>

    <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>

How the park&#039;s means of describing the textile industry and its workers in Lowell has the effect of relegating industrial life to the past and, as the author argues, &quot;reinforc[ing], on a fundamental level, the continuing creation of Lowell as a postindustrial place&quot; (94).

    <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. These are auxiliary variation in the passé composé and variation between use of the synthetic and analytic futures. Findings from Southbridge and Woonsocket provide new insight for understanding linguistic change during situations of language decline...&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[Outside the province of quebec the largest concentration of people of French-Canadian origin in the New World is found in New England. It is an impressively large concentration, the best estimates placing its numbers somewhere between 900 thousand and one million. The Franco-Americans of New England thus constitute more than one in six of the French-Canadian stock on this continent. On the basis of numbers alone, therefore, they are of considerable importance in any study of French-Canadian society and its culture. They are of far greater interest and importance, however, when their collective experience in the United States is viewed...<br />

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Geography of the Imaginary : Mapping Francophone Identities and Curriculum Perspectives in the Postcolonial Present]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;In the province of Alberta, the recent phenomenon of French-speaking newcomers, who are multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic and multifaith, is putting into question the concept of a collective Francophone identity in Canada. On the one hand, the notion of a collective Francophone identity has been evolving for several decades. On the other, changing demographics are challenging the already elusive concept of Francophone identity across Canada, thus making the notion increasingly difficult to define. The question therefore remains: who is Francophone in Canada?...As a Francophone teacher-researcher in a minority setting, I am particularly drawn to explore how Grade 7 students perceive and construct the francophonie and their Francophone identity as lived in Alberta. Specifically, I consider how stories of history, memory, language and geography explore the lived experience of Francophones in Alberta, especially during an era of increasing pluralism...&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 />

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[Le concept de communauté en géographie vu à  travers le petit Québec de la Floride]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Le résumé de Tremblay: &quot;Dans cette these de doctorat, nous explorons le concept de communauté, lequel appartient à  la sociologie mais qui est d&#039;un grand intéret pour les géographes par sa dimension spatiale plutot méconnue.  Ce que nous cherchons  à  mieux connaitre c&#039;est le role des lieux dans la vie quotidienne des membres d&#039;une communauté en banlieue....Dans un premier temps, nous montrons la pertinence d&#039;utliser l&#039;approche sociogéographique pour étudier la communauté. Ensuite, nous traitons de concept de communauté et des multiples mutations qu&#039;il a connues depuis une centaine d&#039;années. Cette partie de la these permet également à  constater que, comme le propose le géographe R.J. Johnston (1993), il y a un rapprochement entre le concept d&#039;espace social de la geographe Anne Buttimer et celui de communauté....Dans la seconde moitié de notre these, nous appliquons notre réflexion à  une étude de cas, c&#039;est- à -dire l&#039;espace canadien-francais en ballieue de Miami, que nous appelons ici &quot;Floribec&quot;. A partir d&#039;observations de terrain, réunies dans un chapitre qui offre une vision de l&#039;extérieur de la géographie de Floribec, nous nous posons les questions suivantes. Quels sont les institutions et les lieux structurants floribécois et quel role jouent-ils dans leur vie quotidienne de cette communauté? Aussi, comment Floribec est-elle organisée spatialement? Par la suite nous devoilons une vision de l&#039;intérieur de la géographie de Floribec et ce, à  partir des résultats d&#039;une enquete réalisée aupres de commercants floribécois....Cette étude de cas permet non seulement de révéler l&#039;organisation spatiale de Floribec, mais aussi de suggérer qu&#039;une communauté se structure à  partir d&#039;un ensemble de lieux structurants dont certains éloignées, qui lui donnent sa cohérence, et d&#039;ou la communauté tire son identité.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms: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:title><![CDATA[Vermont and the Imaginative Geographies of American Whiteness]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The U.S. state of Vermont is often portrayed as a place where &#039;race&#039; is of little significance, yet notions of whiteness are central to how the state has been represented and represents itself. A critical analysis of historical and contemporary economies of representation examines how Vermont has been imagined as one of the last remaining spaces of authentic Yankee whiteness while more recently becoming an imagined homeland for particular brands of white liberal politics and social practice in the United States. Narratives of white Vermont identity have often explicitly drawn on oppositions to other forms of whiteness, particularly those associated with the U.S. South, in constructing an image of a comparatively racially benign Yankee whiteness. Recent right-wing discourses have explicitly attempted to construct Vermont whiteness as outside the American mainstream (not least through its discursive association with gay and lesbian sexualities), suggesting a need for geographical work on the (re)configuration of whiteness to reconsider where &#039;normal&#039; American whiteness is imagined to reside. The examination of the case of Vermont highlights the need for future geographical research to attend to continuities between various territorialized constructions of whiteness as well as contestations within whiteness.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From the author: &quot;This paper is an empirical examination of the processes by which a rural area of Québec originally colonised by anglophones has become increasingly francisised. While popular imagery associates French Canadian population growth in Québec with very large family sizes and with the outmigration of anglophones, no studies currently exist which attempt to measure the relative impact of each factor. In addition, other contributing demographic variables may be examined for their effects on population changes, notably the proportion of persons who marry, mortality statistics, age at marriage, and child-spacing.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the members of the Vermont Advisory Committee: &quot;The report presents an historic overview of the French-Canadian presence in Vermont over the past 300 years, a discussion of the size of the State&#039;s Franco-American population, and the different definitions and techniques used in identifying Franco-Americans. In the chapter on Status, data are presented which demonstrate statistical disparities between Franco-Americans and the Anglo population in education and employment. Societal attitudes reflected in scholarly works and in fiction are surveyed as well.  Franco-Americans have been the victims of anti-Catholic, anti-foreign sentiment in the past, and of negative stereotyping in much of the 20th century.  To determine whether these attitudes result in actions (discrimination), which in turn result in the observed disparities, is a formidable process, requiring additional historical research and analyses of educational and employment practices. Through this report, the advisory committee hopes to identify directions for future study.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

It is my hope that this book will serve to dispel some of the misunderstandings between English and French North Americans.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay on women&#039;s labor in French Canadian immigrant communities in New England. Explores and qualifies the idea that, for women, migration could be equated with social and economic liberation. From the text: &quot;The ways in which these women and girls perceived the options available to them as migrants in New England cities, and took full advantage of them, suggest that for many Québécois migrant women in the decades around 1900, the United States indeed represented a land of opportunity and possibility&quot; (p. 56).]]></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[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>

From the text: &quot;This essay intends to examine the ways in which the cultural experience of the predominantly immigrant working class might have distorted their view of their social conditions and impaired their ability to focus on the origins of their oppression. Consequently, working-class violence, rather than being directed at the manufacturer, was directed at the ranks of the unemployed ready to claim their jobs. In this way, the working class did not engage in aggressive violence to win a social revolution so much as it fought defensive struggles to protect its modest gains.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Of Place and Gender: Women in Maine History]]></dcterms:title>
    <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: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>

Demographic figures on school populations, families, and communities in Woonsocket with regard to ethnicity and culture, compiled from survey data. Takes into account immigrant residents&#039; geographic region of origin. Lacks information from Woonsocket Catholic schools because of the concurrence of what we now know as the &quot;Sentinelle Affair&quot; - a drawn-out dispute between laypersons and Church hierarchy over the preservation of national parishes. Some statistics on language usage. From the author: &quot;In general, the survey of Woonsocket seeks to describe the public-school population in terms of geographic origin, ethnic ancestry, ethnic fusion, and the degree of Americanism&quot; (9). Submitted as Ph.D. thesis at Columbia University, 1935. Republished in 1970 by Arno Press.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Third chapter in a collection of essays on language ideology as related to issues surrounding the political movement in favor of codifying English the official language of the United States. This essay presents a case-study in the processes and progression of language shift in the home - from French to bilingual to English - as taking place within a large family in a rural Vermont community. Certain impacts of rurality/urbanity, educational institutions, socialization norms, world events involving the United States (eg., wars), and age on the processes of linguistic assimilation. Differences in language abilities, as well as differences of opinions on language usage and legislation, as seen between younger and older siblings.

From the author: &quot;Grade four students in an English school and a French school in a Quebec community were examined for differences in value orientations. Although, in fact, the two schools are very near each other, the children reflect the distance in cultural orientations towards the future, their goals and interpersonal relations.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

The importance of recognizing such patterns and morals for health and social service providers. Included in Occasional Paper Number Six, in a series produced by the Center for Research on Vermont, University of Vermont. Originally presented as, &quot;The French-Canadians of Vermont: Cultural Implications for Health and Social Services Providers,&quot; at a meeting sponsored by the University of Vermont Department of Psychology, November, 1981. From Woolfson: &quot;Though a number of Franco-Vermonters do not display visible trappings of their French-Canadian heritage, many still share, as do other ethnic groups, inherited cultural patterns and values. This paper examines some of these patterns and values with an eye to describing their importance for health and social services providers in particular. There has been considerable interest in the special social and cultural patterns of the French-Vermonters as an ethnic group, especially the roles that family members play in interviews and other health and social services contexts.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Canadian French in New England]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Transcription of an 1881 &quot;informal hearing&quot; at the Massachusetts legislature regarding the publication of the annual report of the Massachusetts Labor Statistics Bureau in which the French Canadians are famously referred to as &quot;the Chinese of the eastern states.&quot; The report argued on the point of a ten-hour workday in Massachusetts and denigrated the French Canadian immigrant population there for being an alleged hindrance to it. The hearing here contains local French Canadian reactions to the report, as well as responses from the author of the report, the Chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who compiled the book at hand. Discussions about processes of immigration, repatriation to Canada, Americanization, naturalization, French Canadian desire for education, and the desire to rid reported French Canadian stereotypes of their public weight. Letters from local leaders expressing support for the French Canadian populations of their communities by attesting to their public political involvement and admirable work habits. All comments driven by the Bureau&#039;s reported assumption that French Canadians would resist a mandate limiting the workday to ten hours. Concludes in saying, &quot;we have proved by overwhelming evidence that the statements contained in this report are groundless. We have not proved that they are malicious, but we deduce from the fact that they are false, that they have been presented to you from a malicious spirit or in a spirit which is just as sordid and despicable...&quot; (pp.84-85). Recognizes the report&#039;s flawed data collection methods, as well as flawed samplings in largely unrepresentative communities, and excuses the use of the famous racial remark as being of the economic parlance of the times.]]></dcterms:description>
