From Mills to Millennium: Documenting Social Change through Oral Histories among Three Generations of Franco-Americans in Manchester
The Franco-Americans who emigrated to the New England region did so during the industrial revolution, fleeing the starvation and overpopulation in Canada. Those who settled in Manchester, New Hampshire, also developed a community on the West Side of the city making the transition from Canada to Manchester's little Canada section easier for French immigrants. The West Side held the religious traditions and social and fraternal organizations with which this group was familiar. In addition to the history of Manchester, the researcher drew from sociological theories on assimilation, the interdisciplinary theories on place attachment and identity, and combined these approaches with the oral history of place memory. This dissertation contains the oral histories of sixteen Franco-Americans representing three generations ranging from ages nineteen to ninety. The intent of the collection is to preserve the lived experiences and memories of the Franco-American in Manchester. In order to provide a framework for understanding the oral histories presented here, four major themes were provided: family, education, religion and discrimination. The shifts observed across the generations in terms of the perceived role that the four themes play in their lives are detailed in the narrative portion. There are two components to this study on Manchester's Franco-Americans. The oral histories captured on the accompanying two hour and forty minute film are supplemented in the written document by recorded memories. Excerpts of written narratives also ground the interviews within the historical backdrop of the Franco-American in Manchester. The film is central to the study and provides videoed interviews from individuals with a French Canadian heritage. This study documented how attitudes and traditions changed across three generations of Franco-Americans within the greater Manchester area. The groups were characterized by and uniquely identified through the traditions and rituals of this rich culture. The identity with the Franco-American traditions and culture has lessened through the succeeding generations. In addition, the increased emotional separation from the Roman Catholic Church and geographic mobility away from the West Side is noted with its subsequent impact on identity with Franco traditions. All participants were recorded using state of the art video and audio equipment. The film included here is edited for dissertation purposes. -

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.

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.

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.

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 -

Inside Peyton Place : The Life of Grace Metalious
Biography of Manchester, New Hampshire author Grace Metalious. Famous for her novel "Peyton Place" and its various film adaptations. Emily Toth is also the biographer of novelist Kate Chopin.
From University Press of Mississippi: "The juicy biography of the scandalous novelist who lifted the lid off a New England town...Grace Metalious, an unpretentious housewife from the wrong side of the tracks, had written an explosive bestseller. From a ramshackle cottage in a small New England milltown, she zoomed to national stardom. She met movie stars, famous writers, and the hangers-on who gravitate to those who achieve sudden wealth. She partied with the glamorous; she traveled; always a generous friend, she entertained lavishly. It was a Cinderella dream. But it did not last....Grace refused to be confined by the fifties' notions of a woman's place. In her struggle to find herself, she lifted the lid off sex and violence, power and powerlessness, truth and hypocrisy, and became known as the Pandora in Blue Jeans. 'If I'm a lousy writer,' she said, 'then an awful lot of people have got lousy taste.'...Emily Toth has given us a complete and sympathetic portrait of Grace: the idealistic young scribbler, the partier, the sometimes reluctant wife and mother. Tracing the television shows, the films, the Peyton Place sequels and later novels, Toth shows Grace plagued by periods of self-doubt and loneliness, striving desperately and feeling pressured to create another 'hit.'"

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 -
Exploring the Dialect of the Franco-Americans of Manchester, New Hampshire
From the authors: "This research focuses on... the French language's influence on Franco-American English in Manchester, a city in southern New Hampshire....The questions we explore include the following: Does the Franco-American community of Manchester have its own French-influenced dialect on English? What sociolinguistic factors influence this dialect? Do speakers with stronger cultural ties to the Franco-American community produce a more French-sounding English? Can immersion in Franco-American culture have an influence on speakers who are monolingual (in English)?" -

Présence visible et invisible de la langue française dans la littérature franco-américaine contemporaine
Pris de Glottopol, la revue de sociolinguistique en ligne: "Présence invisible dans le champ des littératures francophone et ethnique américaines, la littérature franco-américaine de la Nouvelle-Angleterre, qu'elle s'exprime en français ou en anglais, est la gardienne d'une mémoire francophone, d'un patrimoine culturel et linguistique qui réfute l'oubli. Peggy Pacini analyse la place de la langue française dans quelques romans franco-américains, qui y apparaît sous différentes formes (discours métissé, forme dialectale, français littéraire) et y occupe diverses fonctions (incise, dialogue, narration, monologue). L'image de la langue française dans ces romans permet de mieux comprendre, selon l'auteure, cette dialectique du bon et du mauvais français qui est sûrement à l'origine de la disparition de cette langue au sein de cette communauté."..."Triès peu répertoriée, la littérature franco-américaine de la Nouvelle-Angleterre est devenue une présence invisible dans le champ des littératures francophone mais aussi ethnique américaine. Néanmoins, qu'elle s'exprime en français ou en anglais, elle est la gardienne d'une mémoire francophone, d'un patrimoine culturel et linguistique qui réfute l'oubli. Il sera donc question d'analyser la place de la langue française dans ces romans, quelle que soit la forme qu'elle prenne (discours métissé, forme dialectale, français littéraire) et la fonction qu'elle occupe (incise, dialogue, narration, monologue). Pour cela, il faudra recontextualiser l'évolution de cette langue dans ce contexte nord-américain particulier et son rapport à l'idéologie de la survivance telle qu'elle était véhiculée par le clergé canadien français. De la même façon, l'image de la langue française dans ces romans permet de mieux comprendre cette dialectique du bon et du mauvais français qui est sûrement à l'origine de la disparition de cette langue au sein de cette communauté." -

Comment la classe ouvriière émigrante dans des collectivités comme Woonsocket, Rhode Island, nous aident à comprendre la franco-américanie et l'histoire du Québec. L'auteur utilise des ressources écrites et orales. De l'auteur: "Par l'exemple de Woonsocket au Rhode Island, l'auteur tente d'illustrer les caractières historiques de cette partie majeure de la diaspora québécoise en Amérique du Nord; preuve de l'immense influence au XIXe siiècle, de la République américaine sur le développement d'un Québec moderne." (résumé) From the author: "...Through the example of Woonsocket in Rhode Island, the author illustrâtes the major elements of Franco-American history. As the most important component of the Québécois diaspora in North America, the New England French populations provide strong evidence, in the nineteenth century, of the enduring influence of the American Republic on the shaping of a modem day Québec" (abstract).Tags Albion RI, Biddeford ME, Blackstone River Valley, Community: Customs and Social Life, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fall River MA, Farming and Agriculture, Gender and Sexuality, Gilbertville MA, Greenville NH, Holyoke MA, Lawrence MA, Lewiston ME, Lowell MA, Manchester NH, Manville RI, Mills and Mill Work, New Bedford MA, New England, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Immigration, Pawtucket RI, Québec, Social History, Southbridge MA, Woonsocket RI, Worcester MA -

French Canadians in New England
1901 supplementary article on French-Canadian communities in New England.

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. Focused less on American community building than on patterns and means of human migration visible in government records from across the length of the Canadian-American border. An attempt at integrating the often-overlooked Anglo Canadian migration with that of French Canadians, and measuring Canadian emigration both within and beyond boundaries of ethnicity. Observations on instances of "remigration" - the movement to the United States of recent immigrants to Canada - in the time period of concern. From the book jacket: " 'Crossing the 49th Parallel' is the first book to encompass that entire, continent-wide population shift, bringing Canadian migration to the center of both Canadian and U.S. history." "Bruno Ramirez researches the contents of previously unused border records to bring to light the wide variety of local contexts and historical circumstances that led Canadian men, women, and children to cross the border and become key actors in the U.S. economy and society."Tags Acadians, Berlin NH, British Columbia, Buffalo NY, Business and Economics, Canada, Central Falls RI, Cohoes NY, Demography, Detroit MI, Eastport ME, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Fall River MA, Farming and Agriculture, Goffstown NH, Haverhill MA, Holyoke MA, Illinois, Jackman ME, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lowell MA, Lynn MA, Manchester NH, Manitoba, Massena NY, Michigan, Mills and Mill Work, Montana, Montréal QC, Nashua NH, New Bedford MA, New Brunswick, New England, New York, Niagara Falls NY, North Dakota, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Providence RI, Québec, Salem MA, Sault Sainte Marie MI, St. Lawrence River Valley, Toronto ON, Watertown NY, Waterville ME, Wisconsin, Woonsocket RI -
The French Canadians in New-England
Another editorial on French-Canadian populations in the United States, their common patterns of community congregation, and what to the author seems to be a resistance to assimilation. From the text: "It is next to impossible to penetrate this mass of protected and secluded humanity with modern ideas or to induce them to interest themselves in democratic institutions and methods of government....Where they halt they stay, and where they stay they multiply and cover the earth." -

A pictorial history of Manchester, New Hampshire created from images featured on aged postcards. Compiled by the author of several other texts on Manchester and Franco Americans in New England, Robert B. Perreault.

Manchester presents images of the world's largest producer of textiles, which attracted a patchwork of cultures from many lands. It tells where the first telephone conversation by a U.S. president occurred. It evokes the city that colorful individuals such as a nearly lifelong hermit, the smallest married couple in the world, a famous comic strip cartoonist, a best-selling novelist, the founders of cosmetics and fast-food empires, and a comedic superstar all called home." -
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.

Family Time and Industrial Time : The Relationship Between the Family and Work in a New England Industrial Community
Study of the complex relationship between family dynamics and demanding mill work. Takes as its focus the industrial city of Manchester, New Hampshire, its vast mill complexes of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and the worker families that inhabited its communities and spun its wheels of industrial production. A theoretical look at family in American social history. A discussion of oral history as historical form and methodology. Originally published by Cambridge University Press. From University Press of America: "The myth that industrialization broke down traditional family ties has long pervaded American society. Professor Hareven, a leading social historian, dispels this myth and illustrates how the family survived and became an active force in the modern factory. In this book, Hareven examines the multiple roles that the workers' families fulfilled in facilitating their adaptation to the pressures of changing work patterns and new modes of life in an industrial city. She reconstructs family and work patterns among immigrants as well as native textile laborers over two generations during a crucial period in the transformation of American industry from the late nineteenth century....A case study based on what was the world's largest textile plant - the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company in Manchester, New Hampshire - the book integrates a wide array of documentary evidence with oral testimony. It examines the lives of real people - the way they acted, the way they perceived their lives, and the kinds of decisions they made when pacing their lives in relation to the demands of the industrial system."Tags Business and Economics, Community: Customs and Social Life, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Family, Labor History, Manchester NH, Mills and Mill Work, New Hampshire, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Economic and Industrial, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Personal History: Biography and Oral History, Québec, Social History -

From the book jacket: "The book focuses on the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, once the largest textile factory in the world. The shells of its awesome mills still extend for two miles along the Merrimack River in Manchester, New Hampshire. Never before have we known so vividly what it was like to live a life in the closed world of a single gigantic industrial entity, from the first moment a child set foot in a mill carrying his father's or mother's lunchpail to the moment he retired or was laid off 60 years later."Tags Community: Customs and Social Life, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Family, Labor History, Manchester NH, Merrimack River Valley, Mills and Mill Work, New Hampshire, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Economic and Industrial, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Personal History: Biography and Oral History, Social History -

The Shadows of the Trees : The Story of French-Canadians in New England
Book-length reflection on a personal journey through New England to learn about French-Canadian immigration and Franco American identity there. Permeated with personal anecdotes, comments on language, race, and genealogy, and perhaps the first tempered criticisms of La Survivance. Ducharme's attempts to cover all aspects of Franco-American culture meddle in both the subtle and the explicit. Written by the author of "The Delusson Family: A Novel."

"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 -

Pictorial history of the communities in and around the Amoskeag Manufacturing Company's mill complex in Manchester, New Hampshire. The rise and fall of Amoskeag, in photos. A volume in the broad-ranging "Images of America" series of books. Previously published under the title "A World Within a World."

More than a hundred years ago, thousands of immigrants from Europe and Canada were drawn to the mills of Manchester by the promise of a better life.

We join the bustle of Elm and Hanover Streets in the 1880s, witness children working at the mighty Amoskeag Manufacturing Company, enter a Greek coffeehouse in the early 1900s, get caught up in the bitter labor strikes of the 1920s, and meet unusual local figures such as the Hermit of Mosquito Pond."Tags Art and Architecture, Business and Economics, Community: Customs and Social Life, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, German Americans, Greek Americans, Irish Americans, Labor History, Lithuanian Americans, Manchester NH, Merrimack River Valley, Mills and Mill Work, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Local, Nonfiction -- History -- Pictorial, Polish Americans, Scottish Americans, Swedish Americans -
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 -

The Battle over Female (In)Dependence : Women in New England Québécois Migrant Communities, 1870-1930
Waldron explores the impacts of immigration on French Canadian norms of gender, labor, and social practice. She uses the examples of Lewiston, Maine, and Worcester, Massachusetts, and the different economies therein to ultimately observe the impact of a certain migration on the traditions (oppressive or otherwise) of a people. From the text: "My argument is twofold: on one hand, for male leaders in these migrant communities, perpetuating traditional ideas about men's and women's contributions to family and society was part of an effort to retain, on a communal level, their distinct identity as a Catholic people of French Canadian ancestry. In contrast, for female migrants, the decision to support traditional gender norms was a more complicated one; many migrant women and their American-born daughters advocated perpetuation of traditional Quebecois understandings of gender not only as a means of defining their place in American society, as Catholic women of French Canadian ancestry, but also to obtain and maintain the benefits and status within the home that these ideals afforded them in the United States."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Auburn ME, Community: Customs and Social Life, Emigration and Immigration, Family, Folklore, Gender and Sexuality, Labor History, Language and Linguistics, Lewiston ME, Manchester NH, Mills and Mill Work, New England, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Nonfiction -- Immigration, Québec, Religion, Social History, Winchendon MA, Worcester MA -

The French-Canadian Experience in New England and the Photographs of Ulrich Bourgeois
An essay on how photographer Ulrich Bourgeois captured the French Canadian ways of living that persisted and developed individually in early 20th-century Franco America. How Bourgeois, knowingly or not, worked to preserve a period of Franco American history otherwise obscure and absent from much of the contemporary collective memory. Says Schwartzwald, Bourgeois' Massachusetts and New Hampshire photos "reflect both the perceptions of those in the Franco-American community on their way to becoming owners of larger businesses and professionals, as well as Bourgeois' own experience of community as unity and homogeneity rather than as disparity and tension." -

The Women of Survivance : A Case Study of Ethnic Persistence Among the Members of Franco-American Women's Groups in New England, 1950-Present
Thesis in sociology highlighting Franco American women in the preservation of ethnic heritage and language. Based on a variety of case studies conducted by the author in 1980s New England. From the author: "The primary purpose of this dissertation was to explore questions related to the processes of ethnic persistence and, secondarily, to understand the role of women in these processes. The procedure for this investigation was to conduct a case study of an ethnic women's organization, La Federation Feminine Franco-Americaine (Fede). This case study of the Fede utilized field work techniques, in-depth interviews and the analysis of archival materials. The objectives of this case study were in brief: (1) to delineate the maintenance activities involved in ethnic persistence; (2) to determine the importance of ethnicity to ethnic group members actively involved in its maintenance; (3) to assess the role of ethnic women in these processes, in order to develop a grounded theory of ethnic persistence." -

Une certaine Amérique aè lire : la beat generation et la littérature québécoise
Du texte: "Cette thièse porte sur l'inscription de la Beat Generation dans la littérature québécoise. J'y analyse non pas la réception de ce mouvement au Québec lors de son émergence dans les années 1950, mais bien sa réappropriation postérieure. II faut pour lire ce corpus québécois contemporain une connaissance sans faille de celui de la Beat Generation et des travaux sur le mouvement et ses écrivains. Dans cette optique, je trace d'entrée de jeu les grandes lignes de l'histoire personnelle et de l'approche littéraire des principaux auteurs de la Beat Generation, qui n'ont jamais rédige de manifeste. Par la suite, je prociède a une analyse du corpus québécois a partir de thièmes privilégies du mouvement, d'inscriptions textuelles, de citations et de références explicites ou masquées dans des noms de personnages ou de lieux. J'établis aussi les filiations entre les personnages d'un corpus et de l'autre. Il s'agit donc, toujours en restant prés des textes, d'analyser la présence « Beat» au sein du corpus québécois." -

Franco-American Folk Traditions and Popular Culture in a Former Milltown : Aspects of Ethnic Urban Folklore and the Dynamics of Folklore Change in Lowell, Massachusetts
From Lane: "Being Americans of French-Canadian descent, the Franco-Americans of New England possess a rich and original traditional culture which has been little documented up to now, especially in English....As a result, this dissertation, which is a study in ethnic folklore and popular culture, attempts to provide an overview of the folk-traditions of French expression still existing today among the Franco-American community of Lowell, Massachusetts....This work is basically divided into two parts. The first two chapters of Part I deal with the general historical and cultural background of the Franco-Americans of New England, in general, and Lowell, in particular, while the third chapter looks at previous research in the domain of ethnic folklore and, more specifically, Franco-American folklore. Aspects of folklore performance and context are considered from the historical point of view of the Lowell Franco-American community....Part II, on the other hand, deals mainly with the documentation of the various realms of Franco-American folk-traditions, here classified according to genre. Traditional narratives ("contes"), popular jokes ("histoires droles"), children's songs and rhymes, and elements of oral history as well as aspects of traditional singing, music and dance are consecutively considered with sample texts of each genre given and analyzed. Further supporting documents are also presented in the appendices....Because Franco-American culture (and therefore Franco-American folklore and popular culture) is the historical result of successive migrations (from France to what is known today as Canada and, from Canada to New England) this study also takes into account the phenomenon of cultural continuity as well as some aspects of the dynamics of culture change which are viewed here as a process resulting from the conflict having taken and still taking place between two opposing forces: cultural maintenance and assimilation....Most of all, however, this work is a first step into the field of Franco-American oral-traditional genres, popular culture and an homage to ethnic creativity."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Bedford NH, Burlington VT, Canada, Community: Customs and Social Life, Emigration and Immigration, Folklore, France, Lowell MA, Manchester NH, Massachusetts, New Brunswick, New England, Nonfiction -- Anthropology, Nonfiction -- Social Sciences, Personal History: Biography and Oral History, Social History, Woonsocket RI -
Phonological Variables in a New England French Speech Community
From the author: "The first section of the present study consists of a historical survey of the Franco-American community, examining those factors, such as the existence of a network of bilingual parochial schools, which were significant for language maintenance efforts. It is observed that French/English bilingualism in New England has seriously declined in the last twenty years, and that organized attempts to provide for its survival are now limited primarily to the state of Maine. The second section of this study specifies the lexical, morphological and syntactic characteristics which distinguish New England French (NEF) from Standard French (SF), based on a corpus of written and oral documents of recent origin. The results obtained are compared with those reported in studies of Canadian French, and in earlier studies of NEF. It is shown that no structural innovations have emerged in NEF which are not also attested in Canadian and other popular varieties of French. The influence of English is primarily restricted to the borrowing of words, but the use of anglicisms is often subject to ridicule. Systematic change in NEF tends to be in the direction of convergence with SF. Synchronically, a continuum of speech style is observed, whose lower or informal levels are characterized by features shared with the French of rural Québec, and whose higher or more formal levels are characterized by corresponding features of SF....The third section consists of an analysis of the present state of the phonology of NEF, and is based on a corpus collected in interviews with six informants in Manchester, New Hampshire. Sixteen phonological rules are formulated, defining elements which distinguish NEF from SF. It is shown that some of these features are being lost as NEF incorporates standard elements. Many of these elements which are avoided in formal speech situations by speakers with more exposure to SF, however, tend to occur frequently or predominantly in less formal situations. The sixteen phonological processes are subjected to partial ordering in terms of an implicational scale, according to whether they are more or less resistant to change. It is shown that those processes which entail only superficial (phonetic) differences between NEF and SF are more likely to be retained, while those processes which entail underlying (morphophonemic) differences are more likely to be lost."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Brunswick ME, Caribou ME, Education, Fall River MA, Language and Linguistics, Lewiston ME, Louisiana, Lowell MA, Maine, Manchester NH, New Bedford MA, New England, New Hampshire, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Language and Linguistics, Québec, Salem MA, St. John River Valley, Woonsocket RI, Worcester MA -
Processes of Immigration : The Franco Americans of Manchester, New Hampshire, 1875-1925
From Kanzler: "The Black History movement of the 1960s, the White Ethnic awareness of the 1970s and current developments in the Hispanic and Asian communities throughout the United States emphasize the significance of ethnicity as a major factor in the analysis of American nationality. These circumstances along with an increasing appreciation of social history as a critical area of research have stimulated new quests into the complexity and ramifications of the social processes of becoming an American....This study focuses on the various processes implied in the migration and settlement of French Canadian immigrants in Manchester, New Hampshire 1875-1925....The second part of the work applies the historical research in an educational setting to test the effectiveness of case study methodology. Using the historical findings in fictionalized form, a French Canadian family is traced from its migration to Manchester through processes of acculturation and adjustment. Control and experimental groups in two secondary U.S. History classes are tested for cognitive achievement and positive attitudes toward cultural diversity."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Business and Economics, Community: Customs and Social Life, Criticism and Review, Demography, Education, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Family, Labor History, Manchester NH, Mills and Mill Work, New England, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Education, Québec, Religion, Social History -

Growing Up a Franco-American : The Social and Academic Effects of Bilingual Education in Northern Vermont
From Edwards: "A French-English bilingual education programme in Northern Vermont was studied to investigate its effects upon the French-speaking children. Data was presented showing the decline in French usage in the area, and the gradual assimilation of the French families into the American mainstream. Against this background, the program was seen to have helped the French pupils in academic performance compared both with their English schoolmates and with pre-programme French children. It was also shown that the programme did not have much impact outside the schools upon language usage or maintenance nor, it was argued, would this have been a realistic aim. However, in the terms ot the Act under which the programme operated, the programme was successtul - a considerable achievement in view of the generally bleak record of intervention programmes."Tags Acculturation and Assimilation, Berlin NH, Demography, Education, Emigration and Immigration, Essex County VT, Fall River MA, Holland VT, Island Pond VT, Language and Linguistics, Lewiston ME, Manchester NH, New England, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Education, Nonfiction -- Psychology, Nonfiction -- Social Sciences, Orleans County VT, Québec, Vermont, Youth -

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.
