Franco-American Ethnic Identity in Maine : Mémoire de Maîtrise

Book-length study based on demographic research and personal observations on Franco Americans in Maine. Begins with a brief exploration of the diversity of Franco American history in New England and moves into the theoretical particularities often used to talk about the common Franco-American minority experience. Ends with case-studies of Franco Americans from Brunswick, Turner, Portland, Waterville, Lewiston, and Augusta, Maine. Attempts to trace the transformation of Franco American attitudes toward their heritage. From the author: "This paper is the outcome of a nine-month observation. From September 1989 until May 1990, the observer was a French Teaching Fellow at Bowdoin College in Brunswick, Maine...."
