Debunking the Myth of Ethnic Solidarity in Three Franco-American Texts
Détruire le mythe de la solidarité ethnique dans trois textes franco-américains
Description
From refdoc.fr: "This article examines three Francophone texts written by Franco-American authors of New England, texts that have received scant critical attention. Writing in a language other than English in the United States foregrounds issues of cultural survival. Whereas in the past Franco-American literary efforts depicted unified communities engaged in the preservation of their distinct cultural heritage-la langue, la foi, et la culture françaises-the works examined here subvert this picture of cohesiveness. In exposing the rigid class structure, dysfunctional families, and bitter disputes over language that fragment this linguistic group, they debunk the myth of ethnic solidarity in Franco-American society."
