  The Intellectual of the Québec Diaspora : The Case of Henri d'Arles

  Article on the changing roles of North American francophone intellectuals in New England in the 1920s and 1930s: from clerics and political leaders at home in Québec, to an attachment to the United States and a process of cultural conservation abroad. Profile of Québec writer, Henri d'Arles, and the movement of his nationalist interests from literary francophone Canada and France to the certain cultural and religious plights involving French Canadian expatriates in New England. How American cultural pluralism, political events, and the Sentinelliste movement, in particular, informed d'Arles's relationship with the United States and reframed his cultural and political purposes.

• Occupational and Educational Patterns for New Hampshire's Franco-Americans

  A 1970s report seeking "to define the status of Franco-Americans in New Hampshire, and their relationships to the majority culture." With data from the US census and a variety of business and education studies (published and not), Doane seeks to get beneath the reality of the under-representation of Franco Americans on many levels of New Hampshire labor and academics. She writes: "...the Franco-American Research Project was established in April 1978 by the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union for the purpose of gathering additional information relating to the occupational and educational status of New Hampshire's Franco-American community. This report presents the findings of the project during its year of operation (1979)."
