Ethnic Identity : The Case of the French Americans

Ethnic Identity : The Case of the French Americans

Sociological essay highlighting Franco American assimilation in a case-study of Lewiston, Maine. Includes a brief history of French Canadian immigration to Lewiston coinciding with the city's birth as an industrial center. Part of the preface reads, "The general thrust of the book as it has developed, centers around the documentation of a case of cataclysmic cultural breakdown. Drawing upon many types of data, an attempt has been made to show that the French-American culture suffered an abrupt, multigenerational shift in cultural and social orientation. This alone justifies the study...."
