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 -

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 -

The Canadian French in New England
Transcription of an 1881 "informal hearing" at the Massachusetts legislature regarding the publication of the annual report of the Massachusetts Labor Statistics Bureau in which the French Canadians are famously referred to as "the Chinese of the eastern states." The report argued on the point of a ten-hour workday in Massachusetts and denigrated the French Canadian immigrant population there for being an alleged hindrance to it. The hearing here contains local French Canadian reactions to the report, as well as responses from the author of the report, the Chief of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, who compiled the book at hand. Discussions about processes of immigration, repatriation to Canada, Americanization, naturalization, French Canadian desire for education, and the desire to rid reported French Canadian stereotypes of their public weight. Letters from local leaders expressing support for the French Canadian populations of their communities by attesting to their public political involvement and admirable work habits. All comments driven by the Bureau's reported assumption that French Canadians would resist a mandate limiting the workday to ten hours. Concludes in saying, "we have proved by overwhelming evidence that the statements contained in this report are groundless. We have not proved that they are malicious, but we deduce from the fact that they are false, that they have been presented to you from a malicious spirit or in a spirit which is just as sordid and despicable..." (pp.84-85). Recognizes the report's flawed data collection methods, as well as flawed samplings in largely unrepresentative communities, and excuses the use of the famous racial remark as being of the economic parlance of the times.Tags Business and Economics, Cohoes NY, Demography, Education, Ethnicity and Collective Identity, Government and Politics, Hudson MA, Labor History, Lawrence MA, Lowell MA, Maine, Manville RI, Marlboro MA, Massachusetts, Mills and Mill Work, New England, New Hampshire, Nonfiction, Nonfiction -- Government and Politics, Nonfiction -- History -- Labor and Social, Rhode Island, Social History, Spencer MA, Troy NY, Woonsocket RI, Worcester MA -
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 -
