Title
The Acadians of Nova Scotia : Past and Present
Description
From Nimbus Publishing: "The first work devoted exclusively to the Acadians of Nova Scotia, this book presents a thorough study of Acadian history from the earliest days of French settlement to present-day Acadian communities. Ross and Deveau draw on original seventeenth century texts, as well as up-to-date sources. The examine the history of the expulsion - the Grand Derangement - that began in 1755, and trace the return of the Acadians and their resettlement in seven areas of the province. The authors highlight the distinct features that have developed within these different regions of Nova Scotia, and discuss the choices and challenges faced by Acadians today: linguistic assimilation and preservation of a distinct culture against pressures from the mainstream culture."
