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 -

A history of the Alliance in the United States, with particular emphasis on its early 20th-century iterations, and on both the "colonial" and "republican" qualities its mission once embodied (229, 233). The Alliance's engagement with different Franco American communities, especially those in New England. From the author: "By giving voice to different constituencies within the French diasporic family, and by creating spaces for cultural exchange, the Alliance has helped to define the contours of New World Francophone identities" (abstract). Includes the segments, "French republicanism at work," "The Alliance Francaise and Franco-America," and "The Alliance Francaise and la francophonie." From the author: "The Alliance Française is in many respects an intermediary between French America's past and present" (240).Tags Acadians, Acculturation and Assimilation, Africa, Biddeford ME, Boston MA, Connecticut, Creoles, Demography, Detroit MI, Education, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Exploration and Colonization, Fall River MA, France, Great Lakes Region, Hanover NH, Hartford CT, Lafayette IN, Lafayette LA, Lake Champlain VT, Language and Linguistics, Lawrence MA, Lewiston ME, Louisiana, Lowell MA, Lynn MA, Maine, Manchester NH, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Orleans LA, New York NY, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Government and Politics, Nonfiction -- History -- Clubs and Societies, Northampton MA, Pawtucket RI, Portland ME, Providence RI, Québec, Religion, Rhode Island, Salem MA, St. Lawrence River Valley, US Midwest, Vermont, War, Waterville ME, Wellesley MA, 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. 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 -

Large emphasis on the communal value of work, or how ideas about work are situated in the grammar of Acadian American dialogue. From YBK Publishers: " 'Talking Acadian: Communication, Work and Culture' provides a look into the lives of the French-speaking American Acadians, and particularly those who left eastern Canada to settle in Masschusetts in the 1960s. This book captures their stories about family life and their values, mores and morals. It also traces the ways that they use communication to develop and maintain their culture.What the reader learns is that to talk about Acadians you must talk about work.

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 -

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.

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 -
