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."Tags Adams MA, Bedford NH, Berlin NH, Beverly MA, Boston MA, Bristol CT, Burlington VT, Business and Economics, Cambridge MA, Central Falls RI, Champlain NY, Chelsea MA, Chicopee MA, Community: Customs and Social Life, Criticism and Review, Danielson CT, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Farming and Agriculture, Forestry, Gardner MA, Gloucester MA, Haverhill MA, Language and Linguistics, Ludlow MA, Lynn MA, Maine, Massachusetts, Meriden CT, Nashua NH, New England, New Hampshire, Newton MA, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- General, North Adams MA, North Brookfield MA, Ogdensburg NY, Pittsfield MA, Plattsburgh NY, Portland ME, Prince Edward Island, Providence RI, Putnam CT, Québec, Religion, Rhode Island, Salem MA, Southbridge MA, Spencer MA, Springfield MA, St. Albans VT, Suncook NH, Vermont, Waltham MA, Ware MA, Warwick RI, Waterbury CT, Westerly RI, Willimantic CT -
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."Tags Adams MA, Bedford NH, Berlin NH, Beverly MA, Boston MA, Bristol CT, Burlington VT, Business and Economics, Cambridge MA, Central Falls RI, Champlain NY, Chelsea MA, Chicopee MA, Community: Customs and Social Life, Criticism and Review, Danielson CT, Emigration and Immigration, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Farming and Agriculture, Forestry, Gardner MA, Gloucester MA, Haverhill MA, Language and Linguistics, Ludlow MA, Lynn MA, Meriden CT, Nashua NH, New England, Newton MA, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- History -- General, North Adams MA, North Brookfield MA, Ogdensburg NY, Pittsfield MA, Plattsburgh NY, Portland ME, Prince Edward Island, Providence RI, Putnam CT, Québec, Religion, Salem MA, Southbridge MA, Spencer MA, Springfield MA, St. Albans VT, Suncook NH, Waltham MA, Ware MA, Warwick RI, Waterbury CT, Westerly RI, Willimantic CT -
Migration Fields of French Canadian Immigrants to Southern Maine
Article on the migrations of French Canadians in Central and Southern Maine to their precise places of departure in Québec. Includes maps that illustrate migration fields and indicate concentrations of Maine Franco Americans. From the author: "Birthplaces of French Canadian immigrants to six Maine cities during the period 1890-1925 were mapped from information in biographical summaries and naturalization documents....This study suggests that migration fields tend to persist through time, sometimes despite transportation changes, that the areal extent of fields is related to the size and rapidity of immigration rather than to the age of fields, and that fields are probably best identified by county rather than by community units."Tags Auburn ME, Augusta ME, Biddeford ME, Brunswick ME, Chaudiere River Valley, Demography, Emigration and Immigration, Geography, Kennebec River Valley, La Beauce QC, Labor History, Lewiston ME, Madawaska ME, Maine, Meriden CT, Mills and Mill Work, Montréal QC, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Geography, Penobscot River Valley, Portland ME, Québec, Saco ME, Sanford ME, Skowhegan ME, St. John River Valley, St. Lawrence River Valley, Waterville ME, Westbrook ME, Woonsocket RI -
