  The Franco-Americans of New England : Dreams and Realities

  English translation of Yves Roby's "Les Franco-Américains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre: Reêves et réalités" - a comprehensive historical text on French Canada'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's work focuses its attention largely on "la survivance" and the prevailing, evolving attitudes toward it in New England. Roby writes, "This work will attempt to describe the conceptions that the French-Canadian emigrants in New England and their descendants have of themselves." From McGill-Queen's University Press: "Between 1840 and 1930, approximately 900,000 people left Quebec for the United States, with the number of French-Canadian colonies in New England'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'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."

  Les Franco-Américains de la Nouvelle-Angleterre : reêves et réalités

  Un texte historique complet sur les immigrants canadiens français dans la Nouvelle Angleterre, et la développement d'un indentité franco-américain aux ètats-Unis. Reportage de la période entre 1840 et 1980. Un des textes le plus bien connu, aussi que le plus exhaustif, sur ce sujet jusqu'à  aujourd'hui. Pour Roby, l'idée le plus important qui est souligné dans son étude entier, c'est la question de "la survivance" vers le siiècle dernier. De Septentrion: "Yves Roby a consacré 30 ans de recherche et de réflexion à  ce sujet et nous trace un portrait éclairant sur le processus d'évolution de l'identité de ces émigrés et de leurs familles en sol américain.En effet, si les premiières vagues ont maintenu tant bien que mal leur héritage, s'identifiant comme Canadiens français vivant aux ètats-Unis, il faut se demander ce qu'il en est devenu des millions de leurs descendants aujourd'hui appelés Franco-Américains ? Décrire les représentations que ces Québécois émigrés en Nouvelle-Angleterre et leur descendance se font d'eux-mêmes, tel est l'objet de cet ouvrage."

  De la difficulté de naître et de survivre dans une ville industrielle de la Nouvelle-Angleterre au XIXe siiècle : mortalité infantile, infanticide et avortement à  Lowell, Massachusetts, 1870-1900

  De Consortium Érudit: "Le présent texte est consacré à  l'étude de la mortalité infantile ainsi qu'aux difficultés de survivre dans une ville industrielle de la Nouvelle-Angleterre durant la seconde moitié du XIXe siiècle. Nous tentons principalement de décrire la maniière dont les contemporains ont perçu, expliqué et tenté de résoudre le problième aigu que représentait la mortalité infantile pour les populations ouvriières. Nous relions briièvement à  ce sujet, la question de l'avortement et de l'infanticide."
