Frog Town : Portrait of a French Canadian Parish in New England, Paperback / softback Book

Frog Town : Portrait of a French Canadian Parish in New England Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Frog Town describes in detail a French Canadian parish that was unique due to the high density of both Acadian and Quebecois settlers that were situated in a Yankee stronghold of Puritan stock.

This demography provided for a volatile history that accentuated the inter-ethnic/sectarian conflicts of the time.  In this book, Laurence Armand French discusses the work, language, and social activities of the working-class French Canadians during the changing times that transformed them from French Canadians to Franco Americans.

French also articulates the current double-standard of justice within New Hampshire with details of actual cases, presented alongside their circumstances and judicial outcomes, to offer a thorough depiction of the community of Frog Town.
