For Franco-Americans, it's now or never
Description
Subtitled, "French in New England fear their language and culture risk being lost forever unless something is done soon." An article presenting the Franco Americans in Vermont as a people at risk of cultural and linguistic assimilation. Focuses on the worries of a generation of native French speakers and direct descendents of French Canadian American immigrants over threats to their linguistic relevance, unwelcome challenges posed to the cultural currency they pass on to their own descendents, and the historical context that orientates their concerns. Includes commentary from many Vermonters, and relates their difference of opinion as to the role the French language should play in the lives of Franco Americans. Thoughts on the relevance of these concerns to the current (1980s) political movements in Quebec.
