The memory of conquest still haunts those 20 million Francophones who call North America home. The book re-examines the contours of North American history by emphasizing alliances between Acadians, Cajuns, and \u003cem\u003eQuébécois\u003c\/em\u003e and French Canadians in their attempt to present a unified challenge against the threat of assimilation, linguistic extinction, and Anglophone hegemony. It explores cultural trauma narratives and the social networks Francophones constructed and shows how North American history looks radically different from their perspective. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book presents a missing chapter in the annals of linguistic and ethnic differences on a continent defined, in part, by its histories of dispossession. It will be of interest to scholars and students of American and Canadian history, particularly those interested in French North America, as well as ethnic and cultural studies, comparative history, the American South, and migration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54254608941400,"sku":"9780367553661","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367553661_dcbbf13c-b5c0-40e3-adf3-c61a75c04779.jpg?v=1770881436","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/french-north-america-in-the-shadows-of-conquest-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
