Memoirs of a Xenophobic Boyhood
Personal essay on the class and racial lines of immigrant, industrial New Hampshire and Massachusetts in the twentieth century, as mirrored in the dynamics of the author's family. Explains where the Civil Rights Movement and McCarthyism fit into the way working-class people in certain New England towns thought about themselves and others in terms of race. How such a conversation itself illuminates the role of race in places of little racial diversity, and among families like the author's, whose class conditions seemed to preclude the speaking authority afforded wealthier New Englanders. Featured in a special issue of the independent news weekly, The Village Voice, dedicated to exploring questions of "whiteness." Also published in a reader entitled, Identity Matters: Rhetorics of Difference (Prentice Hall, 1998).Tags Augusta ME, Brattleboro VT, Business and Economics, Coles Grove NH, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Family, Government and Politics, Haverhill MA, Lawrence MA, Lowell MA, Manchester NH, Massachusetts, Mills and Mill Work, New England, New Hampshire, Salisbury MA, Youth -

The Belles of New England
A presentation by William Moran on his book, "The Belles of New England," as a portion of the 2002 Concord Festival of Authors, Concord, Massachusetts. From C-SPAN: "Mr. Moran discussed his book 'The Belles of New England: The Women of the Textile Mills and the Families Whose Wealth They Wove,' published by Thomas Dunne Books. The book recounts the rise and fall of the New England textile industry of the 19th century. Mr. Moran traces the experiences of the thousands of women who left New England farm towns and the Irish, Canadian and European immigrants who came to work in the textile mills. At a time when women had no political influence, these workers opposed mill owners like the Cabots and Lowells of Boston for fair wages and safer working conditions. Following his remarks, Mr. Moran answered questions from members of the audience."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Biddeford ME, Boston MA, Business and Economics, Connecticut, Emigration and Immigration, Farming and Agriculture, Gender and Sexuality, Great Britain, Ireland, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lewiston ME, Lowell MA, Manchester NH, Mills and Mill Work, Nashua NH, New Bedford MA, Personal History: Biography and Oral History, Québec, Saco ME, Saco River Valley, Social History, Sports and Leisure, Waltham MA -

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 -

Crossing the 49th Parallel : Migration from Canada to the United States, 1900-1930
A chronicling of movement from English and French Canada to the United States in the first thirty years of the twentieth century.

Observations on instances of "remigration" - the movement to the United States of recent immigrants to Canada - in the time period of concern.

The General Textile Strike of 1934 : From Maine to Alabama
An account of 1934's nationwide textile strike in the United States. The trend of unionization that preceded the strike, and the strike's lasting impact on labor and industry in the United States. A specific focus on the impact of this strike in the industrial pockets of the New England states - often overshadowed by the arguably more widespread effect of labor unrest on life and industry in the American South. Includes a case study of Burlington, North Carolina, and the textile mills of Burlington Industries. From University of Missouri Press: "In January 1933, the United Textile Workers of America was in danger of collapse. Its membership was no larger than 15,000; its attempts to organize southern workers had failed disastrously; and it was constantly under attack from rival organizations. Yet, barely eighteen months later, with 300,000 dues-paying members, with newly established or revived branches covering southern cotton textile workers, as well as northern woolen and worsted workers, silk and jacquard weavers, dyers and finishers, even rayon workers, and with locals in 208 cities, towns, and mill villages, UTW was about to embark on what one historian has termed 'the greatest single industrial conflict in the history of American labor.' 'The General Textile Strike of 1934' is the story of that conflict....In 'The General Textile Strike of 1934,' John Salmond tells everyone's story. Looking at the strike from a national and an industrywide perspective, Salmond explains why workers were willing to risk protesting and describes the differences and similarities between southern and northern workers. Setting the strike within a New Deal context and focusing on its impact on the future of labor relations in the industry and on the lives of those who participated in it, 'The General Textile Strike of 1934' fills an important gap in American labor history."Tags Alabama, Augusta ME, Biddeford ME, Burlington NC, Burlington VT, Business and Economics, Community: Customs and Social Life, Connecticut, Danielson CT, Dighton MA, Easthampton MA, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fall River MA, Georgia, Government and Politics, Greenville SC, Hogansville GA, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lewiston ME, Ludlow MA, Maine, Massachusetts, Mills and Mill Work, New Bedford MA, New England, New Hampshire, Newman GA, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Economic and Industrial, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia PA, Polish Americans, Portuguese Americans, Putnam CT, Rhode Island, Saco ME, Saylesville RI, Scottish Americans, Social History, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Violence, Virginia, Willimantic CT, Woonsocket RI -

Quebec and the American Dream
An examination of various and historical connections between Quebec and the United States. Beginning in the attitudes shaped during eighteenth-century struggles between France and Britain over the Canadian landmass, then moving through the American Revolution, the Great Migration period, the United States assimilation measures of the early twentieth century, and the Quebec nationalist movement, the authors reflect on the meaning of the United States for Quebec - and vice versa.

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.

The Canadian French in New England
Transcription of an 1881 "informal hearing" at the Massachusetts legislature regarding the publication of the annual report of the Massachusetts Labor Statistics Bureau in which the French Canadians are famously referred to as "the Chinese of the eastern states." The report argued on the point of a ten-hour workday in Massachusetts and denigrated the French Canadian immigrant population there for being an alleged hindrance to it. The hearing here contains local French Canadian reactions to the report, as well as responses from the author of the report, the Chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who compiled the book at hand. Discussions about processes of immigration, repatriation to Canada, Americanization, naturalization, French Canadian desire for education, and the desire to rid reported French Canadian stereotypes of their public weight. Letters from local leaders expressing support for the French Canadian populations of their communities by attesting to their public political involvement and admirable work habits. All comments driven by the Bureau's reported assumption that French Canadians would resist a mandate limiting the workday to ten hours. Concludes in saying, "we have proved by overwhelming evidence that the statements contained in this report are groundless. We have not proved that they are malicious, but we deduce from the fact that they are false, that they have been presented to you from a malicious spirit or in a spirit which is just as sordid and despicable..." (pp.84-85). Recognizes the report's flawed data collection methods, as well as flawed samplings in largely unrepresentative communities, and excuses the use of the famous racial remark as being of the economic parlance of the times.Tags Business and Economics, Cohoes NY, Demography, Education, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Government and Politics, Hudson MA, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lowell MA, Maine, Manville RI, Marlboro MA, Massachusetts, Mills and Mill Work, New England, New Hampshire, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Government and Politics, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Rhode Island, Social History, Spencer MA, Troy NY, Woonsocket RI, Worcester MA -

"Why Don't You Be a Klansman?" Anglo-Canadian Support for the Ku Klux Klan Movement in 1920s New England
From the author: "This article examines a little-known dimension to the Ku Klux Klan movement in the United States during the 1920s. As Anglo-Canadian Protestants supported the KKK to assert control over French-Canadian and other Catholics in the New England states, they undermined the Klan's emphasis on Americanism and illustrated an inherent contradiction in this avowedly nativist organization."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Alberta, Auburn ME, Barre VT, Bath ME, Biddeford ME, Canada, Central Falls RI, Colorado, Connecticut, Demography, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fall River MA, Government and Politics, Greenville ME, Lawrence MA, Lewiston ME, Lowell MA, Maine, Manchester NH, Manitoba, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Brunswick, New England, New Hampshire, New York, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Ontario, Oregon, Québec, Religion, Rhode Island, Saco ME, Saskatchewan, Toronto ON, United States, Vermont, Violence, Washington, Woonsocket RI, Worcester MA -
Radicals of the Worst Sort : Laboring Women in Lawrence, Massachusetts, 1860-1912
New England women's labor history text from a professor of American and New England studies at the University of Southern Maine. Focuses on Lawrence, Massachusetts, as a town with a diversity of worker and ethnic experience, and the relationship between this and gender at the beginning of the twentieth century in industrial America. From the publisher's website: "Ardis Cameron focuses on the textile workers' strikes of 1882 and 1912 in this examination of class and gender formation as drawn from the experience and language of the working-class neighborhoods of Lawrence [Mass.]. She shows clearly that the working women who unionized and fought for equality were considered the 'worst sort' because they challenged both economic and sexual hierarchies, providing alternative models for turn-of-the-century women." -

The Belles of New England : The Women of the Textile Mills and the Families Whose Wealth They Wove
A history of New England women during industrialization, and the lifestyle differences among women of different economic classes. From Thomas Dunne Books: "This is a masterful, definitive, and eloquent look at the enormous cultural and economic impact on America of New England's textile mills. The author, an award-winning CBS producer, traces the history of American textile manufacturing back to the ingenuity of Francis Cabot Lodge. The early mills were an experiment in benevolent enlightened social responsibility on the part of the wealthy owners, who belonged to many of Boston's finest families. But the fledgling industry's ever-increasing profits were inextricably bound to the issues of slavery, immigration, and workers' rights....William Moran brings a newsman's eye for the telling detail to this fascinating saga that is equally compelling when dealing with rags and when dealing with riches. In part a microcosm of America's social development during the period, 'The Belles of New England' casts a new and finer light on this rich tapestry of vast wealth, greed, discrimination, and courage."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Biddeford ME, Boston MA, Business and Economics, Connecticut, Death and Disaster, Emigration and Immigration, England, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Farming and Agriculture, Gender and Sexuality, Great Britain, Ireland, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lewiston ME, Lowell MA, Manchester NH, Mills and Mill Work, Nashua NH, New Bedford MA, New England, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Economic and Industrial, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Personal History: Biography and Oral History, Québec, Religion, Saco ME, Saco River Valley, Social History, Sports and Leisure, Waltham MA -
Immigrant City : Lawrence, Massachusetts, 1845-1921
A history of the city of Lawrence, Massachusetts, as a site of mass industrialization, diverse immigration, and unique dynamics of class and ethnicity around the turn of the 20th century. From UNC Press: "The violence and radicalism connected with the Industrial Workers of the World textile strike of 1912 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, left the popular impression that Lawrence was a slum-ridden city inhabited by un-American revolutionaries. 'Immigrant City' is a study of Lawrence which reveals that the city was far different....The population of Lawrence was almost completely immigrant in nature; in 1910, 90 per cent of its people were either first or second generation Americans, and they represented nearly every nation in the world. The period covered by the book--1845 through 1921--is the great middle period of American immigration, which began with the Irish Famine and ended with the Quota Law of 1921. While 'Immigrant City' concentrates on one American city, it reveals much about American immigration in general and demonstrates clearly that, in spite of the poverty that most immigrants fought, life for the foreign-born in America was not as grim as some writers have suggested."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Community: Customs and Social Life, Death and Disaster, Emigration and Immigration, Family, Government and Politics, Haverhill MA, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Massachusetts, Merrimack River Valley, Mills and Mill Work, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Nonfiction -- Immigration, Québec, Religion, Social History, Spicket River -
