Madawaska : Down East With a French Accent
Description
Expository, journalistic piece on the people of the Upper St. John River Valley, cradle of the political border between northeastern Maine and New Brunswick. The predominance of French Acadian culture there and an integrative overview of its elements more obvious to the journalist visitor: language, family, religion, food. Farming and logging as both international businesses and the economic support systems of rural communities in a North American borderland. Contains various character profiles from short personal interviews, as well as a segment on the Scotch-Irish community of Aroostook County. Grounded in historical context, oriented toward the projected impacts of industrial development and subtle acculturation on these agricultural communities in late twentieth-century America. Illustrated in vibrant photo.
