  Some Repatriement Dilemmas

  Article on the idea of repatriation as integral to the history of French Canadian community building in the United States. Certain struggles and losses accompanying Canadian repatriation from the United States in the late 19th century, after extended periods of American settlement. Examples of repatriation as considered in two different contexts: New England and the US Midwest. In Worcester, Massachusetts, journalist Ferdinand Gagnon functioning in the French Canadian press as an agent of repatration for Quebec government in 1875; the eventual shift in his political position, a rearticulation of his understandings of cultural allegiance, and his eventual American naturalization. In Michigan, Telesphore St-Pierre as journalist advocate for la survivance during a period of growth of French community and society there. The difficulties of appealing to Canadian repatriation after extended settlement. St-Pierre's eventual appeal for American nationalism and Catholic loyalty as means of retaining heritage.

  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."
