    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;David Plante, an American writer born in Providence, Rhode Island in 1940, examines the inextricable connection between space and time, place and identity in his most important work, a series of semi-autobiographical novels and short stories about the Francoeur family. This study follows Daniel Francoeur, Plante&#039;s principal recurring character and fictional counterpart, on a journey of self-discovery in five novels that are representative of the three decades of Plante&#039;s career and illustrative of experiences located in both the native and foreign environments of his fictional world. In these five novels: The Family, The Woods, The Country, The Foreigner, and The Accident, Plante maps a terrain that extends in time and space from the insular French Canadian, Catholic parish in Providence where Daniel Francoeur grows up to the cities of Europe where he spends his late adolescence.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[De Fahri et Frenette: &quot;Entre juillet 1917 et octobre 1918, Alma Drouin, jeune Franco-Américaine de Laconia, au New Hampshire, séjourne a` Montréal. Ce sont les perspectives de mobilité professionnelle offertes par la métropole du Canada qui l&#039;y ont attirée, ainsi que la vie trépidante qu&#039;elle y percevait. A`partir de sa correspondance et de son journal intime, nous avons tenté de saisir les représentations que se fait Alma de sa vie quotidienne à  Montréal et de comprendre comment cette grande ville fait partie de sa cartographie mentale, qui est plus vaste; Alma Drouin est en fait porteuse d&#039;une identité hybride et d&#039;une conscience transnationale, qui se manifeste notamment par sa participation à  un réseau épistolaire canado-américain. Tout comme son usage de la mobilité géographique à  des fins de mobilité sociale, le réseau épistolaire d&#039;Alma s&#039;inscrit dans une tradition migratoire occidentale et canadienne-francaise. Si elle se construit dans sa correspondance et son journal intime comme une jeune travailleuse autonome, Alma dépend néanmoins d&#039;un important réseau transfrontalier de parents, d&#039;amis et de connaissances.&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>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[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:title><![CDATA[A Map of Mexico City Blues : Jack Kerouac as Poet]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From Southern Illinois University Press: &quot;In this pioneering critical study of Jack Kerouacâ&#039;s book-length poem, &#039;Mexico City Blues&#039; a poetic parallel to the writerâ&#039;s fictional saga, the &#039;Duluoz Legend&#039; James T. Jones uses a rich and flexible neoformalist approach to argue his case for the importance of Kerouacâ&#039;s rarely studied poem....After a brief summary of Kerouacâ&#039;s poetic career, Jones embarks on a thorough reading of &#039;Mexico City Blues&#039; from several different perspectives: he first focuses on Kerouacâ&#039;s use of autobiography in the poem and then discusses how Kerouacâ&#039;s various trips to Mexico, his conversion to Buddhism, his theory of spontaneous poetics, and his attraction to blues and jazz influenced the theme, structure, and sound of Mexico City Blues....Jonesâ&#039;s multidimensional explication suggests the formal and thematic complexity of Kerouacâ&#039;s long poem and demonstrates the major contribution Mexico City Blues makes to postâ€“World War II American poetry and poetics.&quot; <br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Modern-Day Voyageur Family : Paddling the 3,000 Mile Fur Trade Canoe Route Across the U.S. and Canada]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;When Kevin and Ben Kent were ages seven and five, their parents conceived an exciting, enriching, and educational project for the family. As a team, they began paddling the 3,000 mile length of the mainline fur trade canoe route across the U.S. and Canada, retracing the steps of their French ancestors. This ancient native route, which consisted of an extensive series of rivers and lakes, stretched from Montreal to the Great Lakes to Ft. Chipewyan on Lake Athabasca, in northern Alberta. This was the primary highway on which most fur trade, military, and religious personnel had traveled and hauled cargo into and out of the interior regions of North America during the entire fur trade era. Successfully paddling this ancient water highway from end to end over a series of fifteen consecutive summer trips, the Kent family experienced daunting challenges and terrifying calamities, as well as innumerable thrills and a great deal of satisfaction. In the process, the members of the family also absorbed much geography and history, and, most importantly, developed an appreciation of their own inner strengths. This engrossing and thought-provoking account of the adventures of the family incorporates a considerable amount of fur trade history, in which their direct French ancestors participated from about 1618 to at least 1758. &#039;A Modern-Day Voyageur Family,&#039; written by one of the pre-eminent historians of the fur trade era, serves as both a source of inspiration and a guidebook for other families, couples, and individuals who wish to paddle all or portions of the historic route, or various other wilderness waterways. It also provides vicarious experiences and myriad lessons for those individuals whose venturing usually takes place in a safe reading chair on land. This work consists of a vivid adventure story, a how-to guide, and a primer on virtually all aspects of the French fur trade, all in one volume.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;Since the onset of la Revolution Tranquille more than 25 years ago, the province of Québec has established an ever-increasing international presence, alone and in cooperation with the Canadian federal government. Provincial authorities, with assertiveness and confidence, have worked to establish the province as the heartland of the French in North America and also to present the Québécois as representing a distinctive society. This study briefly traces the evolution of the Québécois&#039; adventurous nature and examines the various ways in which the province functions beyond its frontiers, especially within the academic milieu.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[One of two articles in the &quot;From the Culture of Borders to Border Cultures&quot; issue of AmeriQuests journal. From AmeriQuests: &quot;The text discusses the use of the word &#039;American&#039; when referring to people from, or citizens of, the United States of America. The fact that the citizens of the United States call themselves &#039;Americans&#039; causes discomfort for many Latin Americans, who see the appropriation of the collective identity of all peoples and countries of the Western Hemisphere as a clear act of cultural imperialism. The article discusses the historic origins and the consolidation of the use of &#039;American&#039; in this restricted sense.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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).

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;The purpose of this thesis was to explore and describe the health and illness beliefs of a Franco-American community in Northern Maine. A major assumption of this study was that culture impacts all aspects of life and therefore determines how we define health and illness.  The ethnographic inquiry provided an exhaustive description of health and illness experiences of selected members within the community and, through contextual analysis, allowed inductive identification of patterns within the group. Major themes emerged in the areas of health beliefs (functional and subjective health definitions), health behaviors (approach and avoidance behaviors), illness beliefs (susceptibilities and vulnerabilities), illness behaviors (home-care and cues to action) and clinical reality. The subsequent ethnographic record provided a rich description of the health and illness beliefs of a Franco-American community and allowed a glimpse into the clinical reality shared by its members.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From University of Toronto Press: &quot;In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a local economy made up of settlers, loggers, and business people from Lower Canada, New Brunswick, and New England was established on the banks of the Upper St. John River....In &#039;Backwoods Consumers and Homespun Capitalists,&#039; Béatrice Craig examines and describes this economy from its origins in the native fur trade, the growth of exportable wheat, the selling of food to new settlers, and of ton timbre to Britain. Craig vividly portrays the role of wives who sold homespun fabric and clothing to farmers, loggers, and river drivers, helping to bolster the community. The construction of saw, grist, and carding mills, and the establishment of stores, boarding houses, and taverns are all viewed as steps in the development of what the author calls &#039;homespun capitalists.&#039;&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

From the cover: &quot;From the English settlers who founded the Jamestown colony to the recent refugees from Vietnam and Cuba, the history of American has always been tied to the fortunes of its immigrants. Thomas J. Archdeacon presents a fascinating account of the foreign peoples and cultures that for nearly four centuries have transformed America and, in the process, transformed themselves. Discussing Europeans and Asians, Africans and American Indians, he weaves their stories together, shows how they mingle and diverge, and relates their collective experience to the critical decisions we face in coping with the thousands of immigrants who continue to arrive yearly on our shores.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From the author: &quot;This dissertation explores the cultural identity of two Franco-American communities in the Mid-West [United States] to identify traits that continue to persist despite language loss due to prejudice and persecution. In this dissertation, I argue that cultural identity does continue in spite of language loss and that when language loss does occur, other identity traits, such as festivals and traditional celebrations take on a more profound and visible role in order to maintain this cultural identity.<br />
<br />
&quot;In 2006 and 2007, I observed the Guiannée (La Guiannée) of Sainte Genevieve, Missouri, and of Prairie du Rocher, Illinois, to understand how these two communities continue to express the culture of their French heritage. The Guiannée became the center of my research into understanding the maintenance of the Franco-American identity. This celebration continues each year on New Year&#039;s Eve and it is sung in French by members of the community who do not speak, read, or write in French, except in some cases for identifying places, people, or other celebrations.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

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

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Article exploring how feminist historiography impacts interpretations of the rise of labour in the US and Canada, recognizing the divisions of gender that are fixed along the North American process of industrialization. From the text: &quot;It is the purpose of this article to uncover the ways in which these fissures and divisions within class and organized labour either furthered or truncated the political ideal of class unity in Canada&#039;s past. How has the consideration of women&#039;s work and the problem of how industrialization reinforced cultural constructions of gender outside the workplace offered by historians over the past 25 years in &#039;Labour/Le Travail&#039; either contributed to or altered the conventional views?&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>

In northern New England, little is known about predictors of stage at diagnosis, an important determinant of survival and mortality....The objective of this study was to identify predictors of late stage at diagnosis for colorectal cancer in a rural state with a predominantly white population and a large Franco-American minority... Incident cases from 1995-1998 were obtained from the Maine Cancer Registry. Individual-level variables (age, sex, race, French ethnicity by surname, and payer) and contextual/town-level variables (socioeconomic status, population density, Franco ancestry proportion, distance to health care, and weather) were modeled with multiple logistic regression for late stage....&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

In addition to pieces from Theodore Dreiser, Carl Sandburg, Louis Brandeis, and Reinhold Niebuhr, &quot;Children&quot; features the writing of prominent tabloid journalist Emile Gavreau - the child of French-Canadian immigrants to the US Northeast. From the introduction: &quot;The most significant variations among the children of the uprooted were those created by changes in the society in which they lived.  Their writings have therefore been arranged chronologically by the date of their birth, on the assumption that the significant attitudes were shaped in childhood and youth.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Article on the dynamics of class and ethnicity as related to the labor of women and children in the northeastern United States around the turn of the century. Statistical relationship between family and economy in urban, industrialized America during a period of heavy immigration. Emphasis on child labor as varying by type of family, ethnicity, and the relevant legal structures of different locales. A gradual replacement of children&#039;s wage labor by the employment of women. Statistics based on U.S. census data from 1880, 1900, and 1920. From the author: &quot;The battle over child labor fought in the United States at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries pitted emerging understandings about children&#039;s well-being against those of the rest of the family....This article explores the variations in children&#039;s and mothers&#039; labor in three very different settings: Pittsburgh, Fall River, and Baltimore between 1880 and 1920. It finds that child labor and education legislation resulted in a decrease in children&#039;s employment and increased the likelihood that mothers would take paid jobs.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

Collection of essays on migration, expatriation, and the perpetuation of national identities abroad. The historical roles played by governments in the emigrations of their peoples. Considerations of the economic and &quot;political perceptions of departure&quot; (2). From the editors: &quot;Emigration, like immigration, needs to be understood at the intersection of structural and individual agency&quot; (8). From University of Illinois Press: &quot;Exit, like entry, has helped define citizenship over the past two centuries, yet little attention has been given to the politics of emigration. How have countries impeded or facilitated people leaving? How have they perceived and regulated those who leave? What relations do they seek to maintain with their citizens abroad and why? &#039;Citizenship and Those Who Leave&#039; reverses the immigration perspective to examine how nations define themselves not just through entry but through exit as well.&quot; Translation of French original (2006).]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A remembrance of the French colonists to accompany explorer Samuel de Champlain to North America in the seventeenth century, and some observations on the particular developments of their transplanted culture and society. The first decades of the French in North America, and an historical context for the French in Canada. Provides genealogical information on these early colonists and their families. Appended with maps, images, references, and lineages.   From the author:  &quot;Companions of Champlain: Founding Families of Quebec, 1608-1635, was produced to honor the 400th anniversary of the founding of Québec City and to enable North Americans on both sides of the political divide to appreciate more fully their French-Canadian heritage.  &quot;Companions of Champlain explains in clear language the reasons for the New-World explorations of Samuel de Champlain in the 1600s and the unique culture that resulted from the establishment of a trading post in the wilds of North America in 1608. &quot;Appendices provide an alphabetical list of French genealogical terminology and an example of citation notation for use when filling in ancestral charts, one of which is provided for reproduction. The full-reference citation method described in the book is unique in that it is keyed from the numbering sequence on commonly used charts and does not require the superscripts and complex systems often found in genealogy.  &quot;Included in the volume are maps, an illustration of Champlainâ&#039;s 1603 astrolabe, references, five appendices, lineage and pedigree charts with citations, and an index.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Contemporary Franco Americans: A Study of Ethnic Identity, Help-Seeking Attitudes, and Values]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Given the proximity to Canada, many French Canadians who immigrated to the United States between 1850 and 1950 settled within New England. This immigration resulted in a large population of French Canadian descendants, now considered Franco Americans, within this region. Despite the number of Franco Americans, mental health professionals in New England are offered limited knowledge on conceptualizing and treating this population. To respond to this need, the present study investigated the cultural values, ethnic identity, and professional psychological help-seeking attitudes of contemporary Franco Americans. It was hypothesized that Franco Americans would prioritize values in line with the group’s traditional characteristics and values; immigrant generational status would impact ethnic identity and help-seeking attitudes; and ethnic identity would be negatively related to help-seeking attitudes. Information was gathered in an online survey utilizing demographic items, Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ) and additional author-created items, Multigroup Ethnic Identity Measure-Revised (MEIM-R), and Attitude Toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help Scale-Short Form (ATSPPHS-SF). Data were evaluated using descriptive statistics, correlations, and tests of difference. Results indicated that Franco Americans ranked/prioritized values in the following order: work, family, benevolence, self-direction, universalism, conformity, hedonism, achievement, tradition, stimulation, religion, and power. Generational differences did not exist with regards to ethnic identity and help-seeking attitudes, and ethnic identity was not related to help-seeking attitudes. Women prioritized family and benevolence higher than men, whereas men prioritized power higher than women. Age was positively correlated with ethnic identity, universalism, self-direction, security, and religion, and negatively correlated with hedonism, achievement, and power. Those who spoke French as their first language possessed higher ethnic identity than those who spoke English as their first language. First generation prioritized religion and tradition higher than second generation. Third generation prioritized universalism higher than fourth generation. The study concluded: that (a) contemporary Franco Americans’ values orientations are similar to those of the general American population; (b) the majority of contemporary Franco Americans identify with an ethnic label, but do not have a high level of ethnic identity in terms of exploration and commitment; and (c) contemporary Franco Americans as a group hold impartial to somewhat favorable help-seeking attitudes.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Cotton Was King : A History of Lowell, Massachusetts]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A collection of 14 essays on the history of Chelmsford and Lowell, Massachusetts, from pre-incorporation to industrialization, into the middle 20th century. As the title suggests, an emphasis on the prevalence of mill work and immigrants cultures very much responsible for shaping life in this, one of New England&#039;s most productive industrialized cities. From the editor: &quot;&#039;Cotton Was King&#039; traces Lowell&#039;s history from its Indian beginnings through two centuries of the history of the town of Chelmsford and one hundred and fifty years of urban industrial history, to the present day. The history of Lowell is, in microcosm, the history of America&#039;s Industrial Revolution. The city&#039;s history is a case study in the evolution of the corporate system, the labor movement, and the role women played in the labor force. The cotton mills of Lowell provided the first opportunity for American women to leave their farms and families and earn an independent living. The city with its enormous factories and canals also served as a magnet for the first waves of immigrants. By the mid-nineteenth century the city felt the first stirrings of both the labor and feminist movements, as Lowell entrepreneurs expanded the factory system.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Crossing the 49th Parallel : Migration from Canada to the United States, 1900-1930]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A chronicling of movement from English and French Canada to the United States in the first thirty years of the twentieth century. Focused less on American community building than on patterns and means of human migration visible in government records from across the length of the Canadian-American border. An attempt at integrating the often-overlooked Anglo Canadian migration with that of French Canadians, and measuring Canadian emigration both within and beyond boundaries of ethnicity. Observations on instances of &quot;remigration&quot; - the movement to the United States of recent immigrants to Canada - in the time period of concern. From the book jacket: &quot; &#039;Crossing the 49th Parallel&#039; is the first book to encompass that entire, continent-wide population shift, bringing Canadian migration to the center of both Canadian and U.S. history.&quot; &quot;Bruno Ramirez researches the contents of previously unused border records to bring to light the wide variety of local contexts and historical circumstances that led Canadian men, women, and children to cross the border and become key actors in the U.S. economy and society.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An exploration of the lives and texts of three francophone biographers, each struggling in her own way through the difficulties of deafness. Includes a segment on Franco American author Corinne Rocheleau-Rouleau. From Gallaudet University Press: &quot;This remarkable volume examines the process by which three deaf, French biographers from the 19th and 20th centuries attempted to cross the cultural divide between deaf and hearing worlds through their work. The very different approach taken by each writer sheds light on determining at what point an individual&#039;s assimilation into society endangers his or her sense of personal identity.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Essay on the divisions of power and labor in industrialized American economies - more specifically, mill towns - as transformations of earlier forms of authority in America. Uses the thought-work of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, as well as the social critics and historians who have applied these thinkers&#039; theories to the historical present. From the author: &quot;The problem of power in nineteenth century mill towns rests on a conflict between employer absolutism and the democratic rights of the employees. The treatment of power in recent community studies has been inadequate. This is particularly true in works influenced by symbolic anthropology, where the problem is seen to have been resolved in a consensual value system. However, the persistence of conflict in strikes and disorder compels an examination of the mechanisms of domination, as well as legitimacy. To this end, the ideas of Marx and Weber offer more valuable guidance than those of Durkheim.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>

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

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: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: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>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Study of the off-hours lives of working-class people in the industrial city of Worcester, Massachusetts. 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[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[An evaluation of reactions to, condemnations of, and opinions relative to Québec&#039;s 1974 passage of Bill 22 - making law the preference and predominance of the French language in that province. Much of the hubbub surrounding this bill was created by its opponents who cited, among other things, its imposition on freedom of linguistic choice, or its strangulation of a parent&#039;s choice of the language in which one&#039;s child might be schooled. The author of this article used information gathered from English-speaking Québecers and English-language newspapers from the province. His ultimate argument is for the bill to be repealed, claiming, in the words of other opponents, that it is &quot;a repressive piece of legislation&quot; that pays scant attention to Québec&#039;s anglophone minorities.]]></dcterms:description>

From the author: &quot;This study is concerned with the mental health of selected subgroups, namely ethnic and social class....This study is specifically interested in the amount and kinds of role strain reportedly felt by the members of these two subgroups...&quot; (3).]]></dcterms:description>

L&#039;étude d&#039;un corpus recueilli aupriès de 25 locuteurs franco-américains du Massachusetts permet de quantifier plus précisément la situation. On constate que le nombre d&#039;emprunts à  l&#039;anglais dans le discours français est comparable à  plusieurs points de vue à  celui d&#039;autres communautés francophones minoritaires en Amérique du Nord, soit en général moins de 1%. De plus, on observe un certain degré de variation sociologique, les hommes empruntant davantage que les femmes, tout comme les plus a?gés par rapport aux plus jeunes. Quoique triès limitée, cette analyse exploratoire indique que des perceptions et des jugements parfois subjectifs demandent une étude plus approfondie et à  partir de données nombreuses et représentatives.&quot; ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[From 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>
