Title
The French-Canadian Experience in New England and the Photographs of Ulrich Bourgeois
Description
An essay on how photographer Ulrich Bourgeois captured the French Canadian ways of living that persisted and developed individually in early 20th-century Franco America. How Bourgeois, knowingly or not, worked to preserve a period of Franco American history otherwise obscure and absent from much of the contemporary collective memory. Says Schwartzwald, Bourgeois' Massachusetts and New Hampshire photos "reflect both the perceptions of those in the Franco-American community on their way to becoming owners of larger businesses and professionals, as well as Bourgeois' own experience of community as unity and homogeneity rather than as disparity and tension."
