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 -

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 -
