Description:
STEEPLES & SMOKESTACKS is a collection of thirty-seven essays on the Franco-American experience in New England. The book is divided into eight sections entitled: Emigration from Canada; Franco-American Communities; Religion; Education; Literature, Journalism & Folklore; The Franco-American Woman; Franco-Americans Today; & a final section The View from Within. These articles seek to give the reader an overview of why French Canadians immigrated to New England in such large numbers. They also describe some of the communities in which they settled & recount how they formed French-speaking parishes, organized a bilingual school system, & established regional societies & a French-language press to sustain their efforts at cultural SURVIVANCE. This book constitutes an essential component for Franco-American studies & could complement both ethnic & multicultural programs at the college level, besides being of interest to a general readership.
