  Book-length study on French Canadian migrants and migration to Lowell, Massachusetts at the beginning of the 20th century. The role of family in cross-border human movement, and the impact of migration and its social, economic, and labor dimensions on men, women, and children migrants in an industrial New England city. A study of French Canadian migration as an important and distinct continental population movement; the "socially expansive space[s]" created by migrants uniquely across Canada/USA borders.

Includes study of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century social and economic contexts of Québec and Lowell, in-depth consideration of migration realities, and exploration of settlement in the United States through the lens of the paid and unpaid work experiences of French Canadian women and men.
