    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An examination of industrial labor through the lenses of ethnicity and gender in 19th-century Cohoes, New York. 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:description><![CDATA[45 years of labor history from the textile mills of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. The relationships between the World Wars, American nationalism, and the attitudes of working-class, largely immigrant New Englanders in the first half of the twentieth century. Republished in 2002 by Princeton University Press with a new preface from the author. From Princeton University Press: &quot;In this classic interpretation of the 1930s rise of industrial unionism, Gary Gerstle challenges the popular historical notion that American workers&#039; embrace of &#039;Americanism&#039; and other patriotic sentiments in the post-World War I years indicated their fundamental political conservatism. He argues that Americanism was a complex, even contradictory, language of nationalism that lent itself to a wide variety of ideological constructions in the years between World War I and the onset of the Cold War. Using the rich and textured material left behind by New England&#039;s most powerful textile union--the Independent Textile Union of Woonsocket, Rhode Island--Gerstle uncovers for the first time a more varied and more radical working-class discourse.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Qualitative analysis of self-concepts of college women and their varying attitudes toward gender roles. Based on data collected through questionnaires to women in different types of French Canadian schools - &quot;classical colleges,&quot; &quot;normal schools,&quot; and &quot;family institutions&quot; - in separate regions in Québec. Analysis of survey results explores the effects of how different schools have prepared women for adulthood and citizenship. Presents in numerical data the orientation of these schools and their female students toward prescriptive gender roles. Measures personal traits and family as influences on gender role assumptions within the observed French Canadian populations. Contains an overview of other pertinent sociological research. Written in the context of a period of change in the education system of the Quebec province. From the author: &quot;The problem that this research attempted to solve was how to explain diversity and specificity in role orientation among college women.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The institution of town meeting, the beauty of the landscape, and the enduring qualities of the architecture all give the New England town the power to shape the identity of its inhabitants—in a good way. This premise is put on trial—and to a vote—in Whisper My Name, the third novel in Hebert&#039;s Darby Chronicles.The story unfolds as seen through the eyes of three men: the reporter Roland LaChance, the farmer Avalon Hillary, and the founder of a land trust, Raphael &quot;Reggie&quot; Salmon. Magnus Mall, a national corporation, wants to buy the Hillary farm and transform the property into a mall to serve western New Hampshire and eastern Vermont. The aging Hillary is torn between the traditions of his family and &quot;the thought of the money.&quot; LaChance is not only chasing down leads in his reportage on the mall—he&#039;s chasing down the story behind his own origins. Along the way he falls in love with Sheila &quot;Soapy&quot; Rayno, an aphasic girl from Darby whose origins are equally mysterious. As usual, the Jordan clan plays a pivotal role in this rousing tale of greed, power, and lust.This third novel in the Darby Chronicles will appeal to anyone interested in the clash of cultures in small-town America.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[We Were Not Spoiled: A Franco-American Memoir]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[We Were Not Spoiled chronicles the early life of a Franco-Mainer born in 1921 in Lewiston and raised there. Lucille Verreault Ledoux&#039;s life is typical of many Franco-American women of her generation, children of immigrants to the US from French Canada, and, as such, the book is an important addition to our understanding of Maine’s ethnically diverse communities in the last century. We Were Not Spoiled offers insight into Franco-American social life and identity of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. In this story of the effects of immigration to the US from French Canada, we glimpse into the lives of French-speaking women and girls in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. French Canadian culture continued to be alive in the New England girls who people this eminently readable memoir. We Were Not Spoiled reveals an eye for often neglected details, of information thought to be marginal and so too frequently lost to students of history. A basic function of memoir is to give witness to a time and a way of life gone by, and this book succeeds well at this. In its pages, we find ourselves going with Lucille into textile mills of the Northeast US, living religious orthodoxy, and creating an identity for herself as a woman, wife and mother in the context of industrial New England..]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The biography of a Catholic nun and a Catholic priest in Boston, Massachusetts - their work and their faith, their marriage and their family - written by their son. Moves through the author&#039;s youth and his own unique relationship with faith and doctrine. An intimate and intimately-told story of religion in America, especially Catholicism, during and after the social upheavel of the middle twentieth century. From Free Press: &quot;&#039;Vows&#039; is a compelling story of one family&#039;s unshakable faith that to be called is to serve, however high the cost may be. Peter Manseau&#039;s riveting evocation of his parents&#039; parallel childhoods, their similar callings, their experiences in the seminary and convent, and how they met while tending to the homeless of Roxbury, Massachusetts, during the riot-prone 1960s is a page-turning meditation on the effect that love can have on profound faith.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Article using data acquired by questionnaire to compare the value orientations of French and English students in Canada. Presented by the author in the context of perceived cultural change in Quebec during the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. A comparison of the author&#039;s case-study analyses with results from a model developed earlier by social scientists Richer and Laporte. Differences in choice-making tendencies between both groups of students as related to cultural and linguistics chracteristics outlined by the author. Reprinted from a presentation made at the ACSUS Conference on Canadian Studies, The North in North America, Austin, Texas, March 27-30, 1974. 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>

    <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>

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

With each wave of migration, the French-Canadian elites made speeches to their departing compatriots, encouraging them to return home.

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Massachusetts politics during fifteen years within the industrial and early immigration periods of the late 19th century. From Harmond: &quot;As this study seeks to show, Massachusetts confronted a dual set of challenges in the post-Reconstruction era.  In the first place, the Irish-Americans and workingmen, provoked by their marginal status, united in a political revolt to obtain greater recognition and benefits for themselves.  From 1878 to 1883 this ethnic-labor insurrection, led by Benjamin F. Butler, was the focus of Massachusetts politics....Secondly, the accelerated tempo of industrial and technological change spawnwed a spirirt of on-rushing materialism which threatened the Commonwealth&#039;s traditional business and political mores.  Investors in the newly-developed water gas process, and the electric trolley, for example, resorted to extensive lobbying to secure favors from the legislature.  One result was a series of scandals in the middle and later 1880s endangering the state&#039;s relatively high level of public morality....On the whole, Massachusetts met these challenges well. Under the leadership of members of the Yankee establishment, a conservative, but realistic, attempt was made to accomodate the needs of a new day to the Bay State&#039;s intellectual and political heritage.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Of these education levels, parish schools reached the largest number of French-Canadian children. In Holyoke, Massachusetts, French-Canadian survivance efforts centered on the education of their children in French-Canadian parish schools however, the parish school performed a dual role for the French Canadians in the context of their cultural transition in New England. French-Canadian culture pervaded the school day with French as a language of instruction, sisters from French-Canadian orders as teachers, religion and Canadian history in the curriculum, and the observance of traditional cultural customs and celebrations. The French-Canadian immigrant community did not anticipate the schools&#039; second role, that of aiding the acculturation of their children into American society. Although these roles seem to be at cross-purposes, they co-existed in New England until the second half of the twentieth century with the weakening of French-Canadian identity, the shortage of teaching sisters, and the closing of ethnic parish schools. The bilingual and bicultural character of the school day, influenced by both assimilation and survivance strategies, contributed to the development of a Franco-American population in Holyoke....&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Thesis in sociology highlighting Franco American women  in the preservation of ethnic heritage and language. Based on a variety of case studies conducted by the author in 1980s New England.  From the author: &quot;The primary purpose of this dissertation was to explore questions related to the processes of ethnic persistence and, secondarily, to understand the role of women in these processes. The procedure for this investigation was to conduct a case study of an ethnic women&#039;s organization, La Federation Feminine Franco-Americaine (Fede). This case study of the Fede utilized field work techniques, in-depth interviews and the analysis of archival materials. The objectives of this case study were in brief: (1) to delineate the maintenance activities involved in ethnic persistence; (2) to determine the importance of ethnicity to ethnic group members actively involved in its maintenance; (3) to assess the role of ethnic women in these processes, in order to develop a grounded theory of ethnic persistence.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From the text: &quot; &#039;The Voice of Maine&#039; offers an extraordinary glimpse into the heart and soul of the people of Maine. From an unknown lobsterman&#039;s wife to the famous Nearings of Harborside, from northern woods to coastal towns, the perceptive interviews of Bill Pohl and the outstanding photographs of Abbie Sewall present a remarkable State, and its even more remarkable residents, in honest, close-up portraits that captivate as well as entertain and inform. For millions Maine is a special place, and here both ordinary and well-known people speak openly and clearly about what they find here, how they live, and make a living, far removed from modern urban society.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms: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>

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Run of the Mill : A Pictorial Narrative of the Expansion, Dominion, Decline, and Enduring Impact of the New England Textile Industry]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A chronicle of centuries of labor in black and white photographs. Historical and modern perspectives on mills, industrial towns, and workers in New England from the earliest industrialization period to the 1970s. From the inside flap: &quot;The full force of American capitalism was first released through the creation, consolidation, and incredible profitability of the New England textile industry. It was along the energetic waterways of the Northeast that the Industrial Revolution cut its teeth, there that real manufacturing initially occurred, that goods, produced on native soil, were first distributed in substantial quantities. There, in short, that the modern corporation was conceived. This fascinating, generously illustrated and extensively documented study presents the full scope of that phenomenon by concentrating on its single most powerful and successful manifestation: the textile mill. This was America&#039;s first integrated history, so immense in its concentration that in 1832, of 106 manufacturing concerns in the United States with assets of over $100,000, a full 88 were listed as textile companies.... Dunwell&#039;s survey is divided into two sections. The first, replete with 250 photographs and sketches from a wide variety of sources, gives an historical overview, a concentrated history of the textile mill in New England from the early developments in native technology to the final abandonment of the region. The second examines the living remnants of the industry...Here he presents the people who are still working in the mills...&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

An American artist's eventual return to Canada in search of an identity in the place of his father's birth and death; the father's youthful departure from Quebec to New England many years before.

Each of them is guided by enigmatic, even mystical, women as their separate journeys take them from the asbestos pits of Thetford Mines, Quebec, to the lush gardens of Miami Beach and, ultimately, back to the same destination."]]></dcterms:description>

More broadly, I argue that codeswitching must be understood in terms of individual communicative repertoires and community speech economies, particularly as these are tied to a political economic analysis of the relationship between the availability and use of linguistic varieties, on the one hand, and the production and distribution of symbolic and material resources on the other.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Article presenting data on voting patterns in selected New England towns that indicate, in a general sense, connections between ethnic origin and voting behaviors in the early 21st century. Interpretations of statistical models that indicate the continuing relevance of white ethnic group identification to electoral politics and community formation in New England. Comparison of historical white ethnic groups in the United States to new immigrant populations. Sociological research on assimilation in the United States as related to economic class and political behavior. From the authors: &quot;By examining the persistent effect of white ethnicity on political behavior, we seek to broaden our understanding of ethnic political development and voting. We begin our inspection by discussing the past role and prominence of white ethnicity. We then juxtapose these historic assessments of ethnic persistence and decline with the patterns observable by our empirical analysis of the effect of white ethnicity on presidential politics in over 1500 towns in six New England states.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Huggins: &quot;This thesis traces the history of two immigrant families from the mid-1800&#039;s through the mid-1900&#039;s. The social and economic factors of Germany and French Québec are studied to determine reasons for the movement of people from these countries to the United States during the 1800&#039;s. Family histories are used to follow the author&#039;s ancestors from their arrival through the following one hundred years....The narrative style is used to record family stories and reactions to historical events. The major contribution of this thesis is its furthering of the understanding of the impact of these two immigrant groups on America. Also the assimilation of Germans and French Canadians into American society is demonstrated.&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>

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[Previously published under the title &quot;France in America.&quot; From Fitzhenry and Whiteside, publishers: &quot;This vivid account of the crucial role played by the French in the Western Hemisphere chronicles the rise and fall of the French empire on the mainland of North America and the West Indies, from the arrival of the Breton, Norman and Basque fishermen on the Grand Banks around 1500 to the sale of Louisiana to the United States in 1803. Professor Eccles depicts the establishment of Baroque civilization and the attempt of the establishment of industries and commerce from the slave plantations of the south to the fur trade posts of the far northwest, and discusses the colonists of other European powers. &quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

The 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: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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay on the birth of French Canadian Roman Catholic national parishes (churches, schools, communities) in New England - their subsequent growth, decline, and transformation as Franco American communities from the early nineteenth century to the twenty-first. A brief chronological survey. Includes remarks on turbulent relations between some American Church leaders favoring immigrant assimilation and some French Canadian immigrants resisting the Anglicization of their institutions. Gauges the accuracy of the truism among Franco Americans that there exists a connection between preserving the French language and maintaining one&#039;s Catholic faith. Acknowledges the transformations that take place in Franco American communities alongside specific legislative, academic, or ecclesiastical attitudes toward language use. Follows, through measures of Church activity, the phenomena of tightly knit Franco American communities beginning to disperse and dissolve in the twentieth century. As the title adds, also contains thoughts on the future of Franco American culture in New England as related to the decline of the French language, the decline in the number of Catholic priests, and the modern notion of American &quot;individuality&quot; that the author positions at the base of ethnic community dissolution.]]></dcterms:description>

There has been relatively little systematic analysis of roles of family and kin in the process of migration....

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

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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>

A heavily researched and crafted exhibition of landscapes from colonization to contemporary times, &#039;The Cities on the Saco&#039; weaves a storytelling tapestry of Saco, Biddeford, and the Old Orchard regions that should be held dearly by their diverse coastal communities. From the text: &quot;Here are the many scenes which our ancestors saw but, equally important, the images (economic, social, political) which Saco, Biddeford, and Old Orchard became. Here one catches the beauty of stately mansions and churches as a counterpoint to some of the more squalid social and industrial conditions in which lower classes lived. The spirit of the times, whether rural in the early two centuries or urban during the past hundred years, may be found here, too.... Not only is this a collection of enormously insightful photographs, it is the first comprehensive local history in a hundred years...&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Examination of immigrant Catholic influences on the traditions of Catholicism in the United States. A collection of largely biographical segments dedicated to certain influential, thought-provoking, and paradigm-shifting American Catholics from the middle of the twentieth century. The influence of these thinkers on a country not without skeptics or critics of Roman Catholicism. From UNC Press: &quot;James Fisher argues that Catholic culture was transformed when products of the &#039;immigrant church,&#039; largely inspired by converts like Dorothy Day, launched a variety of spiritual, communitarian, and literary experiments. He also explores the life and works of Thomas A. Dooley and Jack Kerouac to show that their experiences signaled a new Catholic appreciation of the American tradition of creative freedom.&quot; Contains the following chapters: &quot;The Conversion of Dorothy Day&quot; &quot;Fools for Christ&quot; : Dorothy Day and the Catholic Worker movement, 1933-1949 The Catholic workers and Catholic culture, 1933-1949 The limits of personalism : &quot;Integrity&quot; and the Marycrest Community, 1946-1956 Thomas A.

    <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>

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

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

    <dcterms: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: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[From Nimbus Publishing: &quot;The first work devoted exclusively to the Acadians of Nova Scotia, this book presents a thorough study of Acadian history from the earliest days of French settlement to present-day Acadian communities. Ross and Deveau draw on original seventeenth century texts, as well as up-to-date sources. The examine the history of the expulsion - the Grand Derangement - that began in 1755, and trace the return of the Acadians and their resettlement in seven areas of the province. The authors highlight the distinct features that have developed within these different regions of Nova Scotia, and discuss the choices and challenges faced by Acadians today: linguistic assimilation and preservation of a distinct culture against pressures from the mainstream culture.&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>

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

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[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[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>

From PatchWork Productions: &quot;In a time where 31 states have passed English Only initiatives, one urban school district is exploring the provocative notion that speaking a foreign language can be a national asset. We follow four diverse students and their families as they encounter the challenges and delights of becoming fluent in two languages. As we witness their journey, we see how speaking more than one language changes them, their families, their communities, and maybe even the world.&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[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[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[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[From the author: &quot;In 1970 a group of Franco-Americans at the University of Maine, Orono, began meeting to discuss the creation of a new Franco-American ethnic identity. 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[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>
