De Weil: "A? travers le cas mal connu des Franco-Américains, ces Canadiens français catholiques qui quittièrent le Québec pour la Nouvelle-Angleterre à partir des années 1860, l'Auteur entend montrer la place de la religion dans l'expérience ethnique de la transplantation. Apriès avoir rappelé la situation québécoise et le poids d'une Église catholique, romaine, conservatrice et nationaliste, vouée à la cause de la préservation d'une société catholique, française et rurale, il montre que, transplantée en Nouvelle Angleterre, cette religion ethnique eut néanmoins une fonction et conservatrice et modernisatrice..." -
The French Parish and Survivance in Nineteenth-Century New England
The role of the Roman Catholic parish in the development and preservation of French-Canadian immigrant communities in New England. From the author: "...this discussion of the religious aspects of [French-Canadian] immigration will be centered upon the parish, and upon the three-fold concept of preservation of religion, language, and customs which is contained for French Canadians in the word 'survivance.' The first half of the century, which might be called the dark ages of the French Canadians in New England, will be passed over rather rapidly, in order to do fuller justice to the more significant mission period from 1850 to 1868, and to the period of expansion and conflict from 1869 to 1900."Tags Ashuelot NH, Berlin NH, Biddeford ME, Boston MA, Brookfield NH, Burlington VT, Central Falls RI, Colebrook NH, Community: Customs and Social Life, Fall River MA, Fitchburg MA, Gardner MA, Government and Politics, Grafton MA, Haverhill MA, Holyoke MA, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lewiston ME, Littleton NH, Lowell MA, Lynn MA, Madawaska ME, Maine, Manchester NH, Mills and Mill Work, Montréal QC, Nashua NH, New Braintree MA, New England, New Hampshire, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Religion, North Adams MA, Oxford NH, Pawtucket RI, Pittsfield MA, Providence RI, Putnam CT, Québec, Religion, Rhode Island, Rochester NH, Rutland VT, Salem MA, Southbridge MA, Spencer MA, Springfield MA, St. Albans VT, Suncook NH, Swanton VT, Taunton MA, Van Buren ME, Vermont, Warren NH, Waterbury CT, Waterville ME, Willimantic CT, Winooski VT, Woonsocket RI, Worcester MA -

Histoire d'un reêve brisé? : Les Canadiens français aux états-Unis
De Septentrion: "Au début du XXe siiècle, priès de la moitié de la population d'origine canadienne-française vivait à l'extérieur du Québec, en Nouvelle-Angleterre pour la plupart. Cette saignée démographique aurait pu contribuer à l'établissement d'une société francophone vigoureuse et dynamique aux États-Unis. Mais, au milieu des années 1970, le dominicain Thomas-Marie Landry signera l'acte de déciès de ce rêve pieux tandis que les élites franco-américaines considéreront cette tentative comme un échec. Toutefois, pour ceux qui ont choisi de s'installer aux États-Unis d'abord et avant tout pour améliorer leur sort et celui de leurs enfants, l'anglicisation et l'assimilation apparaissent non comme un échec, mais comme une réussite.

Revolution : The Coming of F.A.R.O.G., 1970-1972
From the author: "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'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'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."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Biddeford ME, Burlington VT, Business and Economics, Community: Customs and Social Life, Danielson CT, Demography, Education, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fall River MA, Farming and Agriculture, Farmington ME, Fitchburg MA, Forestry, Fort Kent ME, France, Gender and Sexuality, Gorham ME, Government and Politics, Haverhill MA, Holyoke MA, Labor History, Lowell MA, Manchester NH, Mills and Mill Work, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Education, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, North Brookfield MA, Orono ME, Presque Isle ME, Québec, Religion, Southbridge MA, Woonsocket RI, Worcester MA -
