Structure and Strategy : French-Canadians in Central New England, 1850-1900

Structure and Strategy : French-Canadians in Central New England, 1850-1900

Fitchburg and Worcester, Massachusetts, as cities atypical of Franco American communities in the 19th century. Focuses on the specific industries, demography, and institutional developments in these cities that serve to break the better-known pattern model of what is known as "the New England mill town." From the author: "[This study] uses an ecological approach to explore the occupational make-up, settlement patterns, institutional development, and demographic tendencies of the French-Canadians in these two industrially diversified cities as compared to 'Spindle Cities'....This is a departure from standard works on Franco-Americans....It examines a region and its social groups to see middle range social phenomena."
