To be French in North America

To be French in North America

Critical article exploring the author's notion of a "fundamental unity" among French heritage peoples in North America: a consciousness unified in historical defeat and nostalgic glorification. The ways in which North American political, artistic, and literary figures engage this idea in their French- and English-language works, both successfully and unsuccessfully. Refers to Jack Kerouac, Iry LeJeune, and others. How Québec - as political entity and population - is both an example of and an exception to the author's chosen theme. Featured in a Toronto, Ontario magazine of arts and literature.
