Man in the Middle
Description
Short personal essay written by a journalist from Maine. Reflections on leaving Maine early in life, eventually for New York City, and returning for his retirement. His early commitment to mastering English in spite of his home French, and both the personal and the more general, historical issues that this choice and language loss raised for him upon his return. Arguments bolstered by events surrounding the mispronunciation of his French name, the cultural insensitivity he still finds in his home state, and the attempts of others to reckon with discrimination toward French cultures in Maine. First published serially in Le FAROG Forum , in three parts. Later included in a 1970s collection of materials entitled, "Franco American Resources in Education" developed by Claire Bolduc. As part of this collection, the essay is followed by six discussion questions related to issues raised by the author.
