Processes of Immigration : The Franco Americans of Manchester, New Hampshire, 1875-1925
Description
From Kanzler: "The Black History movement of the 1960s, the White Ethnic awareness of the 1970s and current developments in the Hispanic and Asian communities throughout the United States emphasize the significance of ethnicity as a major factor in the analysis of American nationality. These circumstances along with an increasing appreciation of social history as a critical area of research have stimulated new quests into the complexity and ramifications of the social processes of becoming an American....This study focuses on the various processes implied in the migration and settlement of French Canadian immigrants in Manchester, New Hampshire 1875-1925....The second part of the work applies the historical research in an educational setting to test the effectiveness of case study methodology. Using the historical findings in fictionalized form, a French Canadian family is traced from its migration to Manchester through processes of acculturation and adjustment. Control and experimental groups in two secondary U.S. History classes are tested for cognitive achievement and positive attitudes toward cultural diversity."
