  • From the Mill to the Hill: Race, Gender, and Nation in the Making of a French-Canadian Community in Maillardville, Bc, 1909-1939
    FROM THE MILL TO THE HILL: RACE, GENDER, AND NATION IN THE MAKING OF A FRENCH-CANADIAN COMMUNITY IN MAILLARDVILLE, BC, 1909-1939 by Genevieve Lapointe B.A., Universite Laval, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Sociology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA May 2007 © Genevieve Lapointe, 2007 ABSTRACT This study looks at the making of a French-Canadian community in Maillardville, British Columbia, between 1909 and 1939. Drawing on oral history transcripts, as well as textual and visual documents, From the Mill to the Hill explores how complicated and contested relations of race, class, gender, and sexuality intertwined to constitute a French-Canadian identity and community in Maillardville prior to the Second World War. Using critical discourse analysis as methodology, this study examines the narratives of 23 men and women who were interviewed in the early 1970s and lived in Maillardville in the period preceding that war. Newspaper articles, city council minutes, company records, church records, as well as historical photographs culled from various archives and a local museum, also serve as primary documents. From the Mill to the Hill argues that a French-Canadian identity and community was constructed in Maillardville between 1909 and 1939 through the racialization of bodies and spaces. Narratives about the myth of the frontier, the opposite "other," and the racialization of the space in and around the company town of Fraser Mills illustrate how identity construction operated within a gendered and racialized framework. Secondly, this study excavates the fragile "whiteness" of French Canadians as both colonizers and colonized in British Columbia.

NATIONAL ORIGIN, AND IMMIGRANT SKILLS: A COMPARISON OF CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES ABSTRACT Over 12 million persons migrated to Canada or the United States between 1959 and 1981. Beginning in the mid—1960s, the immigration policies of the two countries began to diverge considerably: the United States stressing family reunification and Canada stressing skills. This paper shows that the point system used by Canada generated, on average, a more skilled immigrant flow than that which entered the United States. This skill gap, however, is mostly attributable to differences in the national origin mix of the immigrant flows admitted by the two countries. In effect, the point system aworksh because it alters the national origin mix of immigrant flows, and not because it generates a more skilled immigrant flow from a given source country. George 3.

The title of the event was Genealogy and Local History for All: Services to Multicultural Communities. Forty delegates attended the meetings near the beautiful Ottawa River and government buildings of Canada’s capital. Thirteen speakers presented information on the diverse cultures of Canada. Members of the organizing committee were Antonio LeChasseur, Janet Tomkins, Penny Allen, Amanda Duffy, Franceen Gaudet, and Lina Gouger. The Librarian and Archivist of Canada, Ian E. Wilson, welcomed the group on Wednesday morning. Mr. Wilson mentioned how genealogists were successful in lobbying parliament to grant access to the 1911 Canadian Census. He also said, “How a community sees itself changes over time. This is the value of local history over time. It is a valid reflection of the community.” 1 Keynote Discovery, Inspiration, Legacy: The Vocabulary and Practices of Family History. Susan Tucker Susan Tucker is the Curator of Books and Records at the Newcomb College Center for Research on Women, Tulane University, Louisiana (United States).

  • Resisting the Melting Pot: the Long Term Impact of Maintaining Identity for Franco-Americans in New England
    RESISTING THE MELTING POT: THE LONG TERM IMPACT OF MAINTAINING IDENTITY FOR FRANCO-AMERICANS IN NEW ENGLAND Mary MacKinnon and Daniel Parent Department of Economics McGill University December 2005 "I'm not a beatnik, I'm a Catholic." -Jean-Louis (Jack) Kerouac Abstract Approximately 1 million French-Canadians moved to the United States, mainly between 1865 and 1930, and most settled in neighboring New England. In 1900 almost a fifth of all persons born in French Canada lived in the U.S. These migrants exerted considerable efforts to maintain their language and to replicate their home country institutions, most notably the schooling system, in their new country. For decades, this resistance to assimilation generated considerable attention and concern in the U.S. The concerns are strikingly similar to those often invoked today in discussions of immigration from Hispanic countries, notably Mexico. Mexicans may not be assimilating into mainstream America as European immigrants did. We look at the convergence in the educational attainment of French Canadian immigrants across generations relative to native English-speaking New Englanders and to European Roman Catholic immigrants. The educational attainment of Franco-Americans lagged that of their fellow citizens over a long period of time. By the time of the 2000 Census, they appear to have largely achieved parity. The effects of World War II, especially military service, were very important in speeding up the assimilation process through a variety of related channels: educational attainment, language assimilation, marrying outside the ethnic group, and moving out of New England. Economic assimilation was very gradual because of the persistence of ethnic enclaves.

Holman Bridgewater State University Filed away in the archives of the City of Toronto, Canada, are two photographs from the winter of 1928 that capture a peculiar moment in the histories of North American sport and race relations. The first of these shows 16 Native Canadians divided into two teams dressed in ice hockey gear, buckskin jerseys, and feathered headdresses. The teams are assembled along one side of a chartered bus (equipped with chained tires), which was parked in front of the Ontario Provincial Legislature and festooned with a sign announcing the “Cree & Ojibway Indian Hockey Tour” (Figure 1). The second image captures the two teams assembled at an outdoor stadium in Toronto—a warm spell in mid-January having melted the outdoor ice and leaving the hockey players standing in slush (Figure 2).

Intergenerational Progress in Educational Attainment When Institutional Change Really Matters: A Case Study of Franco-Americans vs. French-Speaking Quebeckers1 Daniel Parent Department of Economics McGill University, February 2009 "Laissez-les partir, c'est la racaille qui s'en va" (Let them leave: It's the rabble who are leaving) George-Etienne Cartier (Co-Father of Confederation commenting on the exodus of French-Canadians to New England in 19th Century) 1I would like to thank Mary MacKinnon for her early involvement in the project and for many fruitful discussions on the topic. Abstract Using U.S. and Canadian census data I exploit the massive out migration of approximately 1 million French-Canadians who moved mainly to New England between 1865 and 1930 to look at how the educational attainment and enrollment patterns of their descendants compare with those of same aged French-speaking Quebeckers. Data from the 1971 (1970) Canadian (U.S.) censuses reveal that New England born residents who had French as their mother tongue enjoyed a considerable advantage in terms of educational attainment. I attribute this large discrepancy to their exposure to the U.S.

    Answering the Call to Serve their (Acadian) Nation: The Volunteers of the 165th Battalion, 1911-1917 GREGORY KENNEDY* Little has been written about Acadian volunteers to the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during the First World War. This article offers a detailed profile of the volunteers of the 165th (Acadian) Battalion, created as part of a larger national initiative in 1916 to boost recruiting by appealing to specific regional and ethnic identities. However, recruiting for this unit fell short, as it did across Canada in 1916, and it was disbanded in 1917. The 885 volunteers were largely drawn from Francophone counties in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Longitudinal analysis linking them to their military records and the 1911 Canadian Census provides detailed information about their origins, occupations, and family situations. The volunteers were broadly representative of Acadian rural society, but disproportionately drawn from highly mobile and single young men from southeastern New Brunswick who had moved to Moncton in search of work. Comparing them to volunteer members of the 22nd (French Canadian) Battalion and the CEF as a whole provides new insights into the difficulties of voluntary recruitment for the CEF. On n’a guère écrit au sujet des Acadiens qui se sont engagés volontairement dans le Corps expéditionnaire canadien (CEC) pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Le présent article trace un portrait détaillé des volontaires du 165e Bataillon (acadien), créé en 1916 dans le cadre d’un vaste projet national destiné à stimuler le recrutement en suscitant l’intérêt de groupes dotés d’une identité régionale ou ethnique particulière. Le recrutement pour cette unité s’est cependant tari, comme ce fut le cas dans tout le Canada en 1916, de sorte que l’unité a été démantelée en 1917.
