Regional Competition for Franco-American Repatriates, 1870-1930
Description
Article describing the logics and methods of Québec repatriation from the United States around the turn of the century. The establishment of the Eastern Townships as a Québec repatriation colony, active solicitation of Franco Americans in the United States, and other efforts of the Québec government to redress a "demographic imbalance" between anglophones and francophones in the region after 1870. Perspectives on repatriation from the standpoint of Québec's various political, cultural, and economic goals; Manitoba and western Canada's goals; as well as from Franco American communities in New England. How French Canadian naturalization in the United States, and French cultural pride in New England, effectively combatted Canadian efforts of repatriation.
