Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: French Canadians were one of the largest groups to immigrate to New England. Like many others, they sought to escape poverty and to find a place where their culture and religion would be tolerated. Between 1860 and 1930 alone, over one million French speakers from Quebec, New Brunswick, and Acadian Maine flocked to the Northeast. More than one quarter of that number went to Massachusetts. There has been considerable research done on French Canadians in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, on what pulled them south, on their impact on these states and vice versa. However, even though over 40,000 French Canadians migrated to Connecticut during that time, little scholarship on the topic exists. This thesis analyzes 20th century French Canadian migration to Connecticut and its impacts on Connecticut society and industry through the example of the French Canadian community of Bristol, Connecticut, an industrial hub between Hartford and Waterbury. Local sources including historical newspapers, company documents, parish records, and census and genealogical data are analyzed. Several questions are addressed that will help fill the gap of research about French Canadians in Connecticut. What factors brought families with French Canadian roots to Bristol from Canada, Acadian Maine and other industrial centers in New England? How were French Canadian migrants and their families received by Bristol's employers and residents? How did French Canadian migrants impact Bristol society and industry? Many of Bristol's French Canadians made the city their final stop because they had found a place where they could foster their culture without being challenged, and could benefit from a bounty of economic opportunity, an experience starkly different from their previous homes and from other cities in Connecticut. The timing of their arrival combined with the socio economic conditions in Bristol created an opportune moment for French Canadian leaders to successfully establish one of the strongest French parishes in the state, positively impacting the city and attracting families from the surrounding area. Workers became gainfully employed and the anti union sentiment faded. Many French Canadians left the declining textile towns of New England in search of better pay and benefits, and found opportunity in Bristol. The French Canadians that came to Bristol are part of the wider story of French Canadian migration to Connecticut, a part of this state's history and Franco American history that has been relatively unexplored, until now.

Download or read book With Scarcely a Ripple written by Randy William Widdis and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1998-12-10 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a prosopographical approach that combines descriptive exposition, quantitative tabulation, and structural analysis, Randy Widdis determines the geographical and social origins of migrants, the distance and direction of migration corridors, and geographical destinations in both the United States and Canada. The study provides a new view of the invisible Anglo-Canadian, one of the largest and least understood immigrant groups in the United States. Widdis's results show that there were many differences between Anglo-Canadians, and that their experience in the United States was much more complex than is usually assumed. With Scarcely a Ripple not only contributes to our understanding of the dynamics of intra-regional, inter-regional, and return Anglo-Canadian migration but also interprets this movement in terms of the paradox of an emerging Canadian identity and a developing integration with the United States. It offers a historical geographical perspective on a subject that, in this era of free trade and globalization, is more relevant than ever.

This book was released on 2015-12-07 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable reference that will help students understand the major ethnic conflicts that dominate the headlines and shape the modern world. Since World War II, significant conflicts have most often taken the form of acts of violence between ethnic or national communities inside individual states. This two-volume work uses case studies to explore some four dozen of those conflicts, making it an ideal first-stop reference for students and others who wish to quickly gain an understanding of ethnic struggles. Content from the first edition is updated and new entries on recent conflicts have been added. The set's geographical range, which encompasses nearly every continent, is matched by the diversity of the conflicts explored. These include internal conflicts such as those experienced by African Americans in the United States and Muslims in France, as well as separatist movements of groups like the Chechens in Russia and Bosnians in Yugoslavia. Headline-making conflicts—for example, those in Mali and Syria—are covered as well. The book is organized alphabetically by country and region. Each essay begins with a timeline and then explores the historical background, evolution, efforts to manage, and significance of the conflict. Suggestions for follow-up research and appendices of relevant, primary source materials are also included.
