L'Acadie de 1686 à 1784 : contexte d'une histoire / The Contexts of Acadian History, 1686-1784
by
In 1600 there were no such people as the Acadians; by 1700 the Acadians, who numbered almost 2,000, lived in an area now covered by northern Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the southern Gaspé region of Quebec. While most of their ancestors had come to live there from France, a number had arrived from Scotland and England. Their relations with the original inhabitants of the region, the Micmac and Malecite peoples, were generally peaceful. In 1713 the Treaty of Utrecht recognized the Acadian community and gave their territory -- on the frontier between New England and New France -- to Great Britain. During the next forty years the Acadians continued to prosper and to develop their political life and distinctive culture. The deportation of 1755, however, exiled the majority of Acadians to other British colonies in North America. Some went on from their original destination to England, France, or Santo Domingo; many of those who arrived in France continued on to Louisiana; some Acadians eventually returned to Nova Scotia, but not to the lands they once held. The deportation, however, did not destroy the Acadian community. In spite of a horrific death toll, nine years of proscription, and the forfeiture of property and political rights, the Acadians continued to be part of Nova Scotia. The communal existence they were able to sustain, Griffiths shows, formed the basis for the recovery of Acadian society when, in 1764, they were again permitted to own land in the colony. Instead of destroying the Acadian community, the deportation proved to be a source of power for the formation of Acadian identity in the nineteenth century. By placing Acadian history in the context of North American and European realities, Griffiths removes it from the realms of folklore and partisan political interpretation. She brings into play the current historiographical concerns about the development of the trans-Atlantic world of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, considerably sharpening our focus on this period of North American history.
The Acadian Diaspora
by
Late in 1755, an army of British regulars and Massachusetts volunteers completed one of the cruelest, most successful military campaigns in North American history, capturing and deporting seven thousand French-speaking Catholic Acadians from the province of Nova Scotia, and chasing an equalnumber into the wilderness of eastern Canada. Thousands of Acadians endured three decades of forced migrations and failed settlements that shuttled them to the coasts of South America, the plantations of the Caribbean, the frigid islands of the South Atlantic, the swamps of Louisiana, and thecountryside of central France.The Acadian Diaspora tells their extraordinary story in full for the first time, illuminating a long-forgotten world of imperial desperation, experimental colonies, and naked brutality. Using documents culled from archives in France, Great Britain, Canada, and the United States, Christopher Hodsonreconstructs the lives of Acadian exiles as they traversed oceans and continents, pushed along by empires eager to populate new frontiers with inexpensive, pliable white farmers. Hodson's compelling narrative situates the Acadian diaspora within the dramatic geopolitical changes triggered by theSeven Years' War. Faced with redrawn boundaries and staggering national debts, imperial architects across Europe used the Acadians to realize radical plans: tropical settlements without slaves, expeditions to the unknown southern continent, and, perhaps strangest of all, agricultural colonies withinold regime France itself. In response, Acadians embraced their status as human commodities, using intimidation and even violence to tailor their communities to the superheated Atlantic market for cheap, mobile labor.Through vivid, intimate stories of Acadian exiles and the diverse, transnational cast of characters that surrounded them, The Acadian Diaspora presents the eighteenth-century Atlantic world from a new angle, challenging old assumptions about uprooted peoples and the very nature of early modernempire.
At the Crossroads: A History of Sackville, New Brunswick
by
At the Crossroads is a history of settlement on the Isthmus of Chignecto and the place that would become the town of Sackville, New Brunswick. William B. Hamilton takes us from the earliest Mi'kmaq activity 4000 years ago through to the town's centennial celebrations in 2003. Along the way, we are introduced to life in the Acadian communities of the eighteenth century, later waves of settlement, argicultural pursuits, the foundries, the establishment of the Mount Allison University facilities, the town's shipbuilding era, issues of governance and incorporation, the wars, the local building boom of the 1960s and the increasing focus on tourism, heritage and arts that characterize the most recent decades. Throughout the centuries, Hamilton draws our attention to the town's continuous reliance on its position as a crossroads. At the Crossroads is the result of Hamilton's keen and conscientious fascination with how people understand and engage with the past. His method, which he calls "working backward into history" incorporates varied perspectives and sources of information, and operates from a local experience, first and foremost. Drawing on material from newspapers, journals, letters, interviews, maps, photos, art, buildings, reports, minutes and personal experience, Hamilton provides a colourful and active picture of Sackville's history and its position in regional, national and international affairs. This is a community and a history filled with newspaper wars, fires, political fervor, ambitious building projects, undying volunteer efforts, dedication to learning, radio waves, business savvy and more. This is a book not only for those who know and love Sackville, but for anyone seeking a local perspective on Maritime and Canadian history, and a new and engaging approach to the past. This book is a Smyth-sewn paperback. The text was typeset in Martin Majoor's Scala and Scala Sans by Andrew Steeves and printed on Rolland Zephyr Laid paper. It features original maps, and 40 black and white reproductions.
Histoire de l'Acadie
by
Comme tous les bons projets de synthèse historique, il va de soi de revoir et de rééditer, à la lumière des connaissances actuelles, un livre comme Histoire de l’Acadie. Cet ouvrage jette un nouveau regard sur l’histoire de l’Acadie des Maritimes, de la première tentative de colonisation à aujourd’hui. Il revisite les défis posés aux Acadiens et aux Acadiennes durant plus de quatre siècles d’histoire en intégrant les études à la fois nouvelles et traditionnelles s’intéressant à l’Acadie. Les auteurs ont voulu mettre au jour l’importance des expériences particulières, que ce soit celles des femmes, des Amérindiens, des gens ordinaires ou celle des élites. Ils ont aussi voulu démontrer que la notion de territoire, plus spécifiquement son occupation, est très importante pour bien saisir les mouvements marquant l’histoire des Acadiens et Acadiennes des provinces maritimes. Depuis la parution de la première édition en 2001, le livre a connu de beaux succès en librairie en plus de remporter le Prix France-Acadie. On peut aussi croire que cette deuxième édition servira mieux les chercheurs, sans pour autant changer la perspective grand public privilégiée dans la première édition.Cette nouvelle édition présente un texte et une bibliographie mis à jour qui tient compte des publications et interprétations récentes. En lançant un projet de réédition, les deux objectifs fondamentaux consistaient à la mise à jour du texte, à l’ajout de centaines de références de bas de page, accompagné de commentaires de mise à niveau historiographiques. De cette manière, l’ouvrage peut continuer de répondre aux attentes des étudiants et du grand public, mais également servir de référence incontournable pour les chercheurs s’intéressant à toutes les facettes de l’histoire acadienne.
The Acadians : a people's story of exile and triumph
by
One of the darkest events in Canadian history is replete with the drama of war, politics and untold human suffering. Starting in 1755, 10,000 people of French ancestry were expelled from their homes along Canada's east coast by a tyrannical British governor with the complicity of American sympathizers. While some Acadians returned home to try to evade capture and forge a living, others made their way to the Spanish colony of Louisiana, where they farmed and fished and began the vibrant "Cajun" culture that is renowned around the world.
Award-winning author Dean Jobb has written a dramatic and compelling account of "Le grand derangement" -- the event that was immortalized in Longfellow's famous poem "Evangeline." Jobb brings a cast of characters to life so vividly that the reader is immediately captured by their stories. The richness of detail is remarkable. The quality of writing is cinematic.
A great and noble scheme : the tragic story of the expulsion of the French Acadians from their American homeland
by
In 1755, New England troops embarked on a "great and noble scheme" to expel 18,000 French-speaking Acadians ("the neutral French") from Nova Scotia, killing thousands, separating innumerable families, and driving many into forests where they waged a desperate guerrilla resistance. The right of neutrality; to live in peace from the imperial wars waged between France and England; had been one of the founding values of Acadia; its settlers traded and intermarried freely with native Mìkmaq Indians and English Protestants alike. But the Acadians' refusal to swear unconditional allegiance to the British Crown in the mid-eighteenth century gave New Englanders, who had long coveted Nova Scotia's fertile farmland, pretense enough to launch a campaign of ethnic cleansing on a massive scale.
Acadian redemption : from Beausoleil Broussard to the queen's royal proclamation
by
Acadian Redemption, the first biography of an Acadian exile, defines the 18th century society of Acadia into which Joseph dit Beausoleil Broussard was born in 1702. The book explains his early life events and militant struggles with the British who had, for years, wanted to lay claim to the Acadians' rich lands. The book discusses the repercussions of Beausoleil's life that resulted in the evolution of the Acadian culture into what is now called the Cajun culture. More than 50 vintage photographs, maps, and documents are included.
Heroes of the Acadian Resistance
by
Heroes of the Acadian Resistance tells the unique and little-known story of the young men who led an Acadian resistance in 18th century Nova Scotia. They fought valiantly in a guerilla campaign against the British to save their homes and families from destruction and deportation. Their battle was against a form of ethnic cleansing that saw British soldiers burn every remnant of the Acadian community -- homes, barns and churches. All Acadians who the soldiers were able to round up were forcibly deported. The French government used missionary priests as government agents to generate resistance amongst Mi'kmaq and Acadian Catholics in an attempt to regain Nova Scotia from British domination. Their efforts were welcomed by some Acadians who had their own reasons for resisting British rule. The guerilla campaign which ensued was well underway before the deportation, and continued after the majority of Acadians had been captured and forcibly exiled. Heroes of the Acadian Resistance tells the story of that resistance and two young Acadians who proved to be leaders in these battles -- Joseph Beausoleil Broussard and Pierre II Surette. Beausoleil, who like many fellow Acadians ended up in Louisiana, is remembered in the Cajun community as a great Acadian hero. Surette lived out his days in Yarmouth County in Nova Scotia, an area which is still home to many of Surette's descendants. This book offers a fresh perspective on the tragic events of the Acadian expulsion from 18th century Nova Scotia.
Remembering and Forgetting in Acadie
by
Between 2004 and 2005, Acadians observed two major anniversaries in their history: the 400th anniversary of the birth of Acadie and the 250th anniversary of their deportation at the hands of the British. Attending many of the commemorative activities that marked the anniversaries, Ronald Rudin has documented these events as an "embedded historian." Conducting interviews and collecting the opinions of Acadians, Anglophones, and First Nations, Remembering and Forgetting in Acadie examines the variety of ways in which the past is publicly presented and remembered. A profound and accessible study of the often-conflicting purposes of public history, Rudin details the contentious cultural, political, and historical issues that were prompted by these anniversaries. Offering an astounding collection of materials, Remembering and Forgetting in Acadie is also accompanied by a website (www.rememberingacadie.concordia.ca) that provides access to films, audio clips, and photographs assembled on Rudin's journey through public memory.
Something of a Peasant Paradise?
by
Were Acadians better off than their rural counterparts in old regime France? Did they enjoy a Golden Age? To what degree did a distinct Acadian identity emerge before the wars and deportations of the mid-eighteenth century? In Something of a Peasant Paradise?, Gregory Kennedy compares Acadie in North America with a region of western France, the Loudunais, from which a number of the colonists originated. Kennedy considers the natural environment, the role of the state, the economy, the seigneury, and local governance in each place to show that similarities between the two societies have been greatly underestimated or ignored. The Acadian colonists and the people of the Loudunais were frontier peoples, with dispersed settlement patterns based on kin groups, who sought to make the best use of the land and to profit from trade opportunities. Both societies were hierarchical, demonstrated a high degree of political agency, and employed the same institutions of local governance to organize their affairs and negotiate state demands. Neither group was inherently more prosperous, egalitarian, or independent-minded than the other. Rather, the emergence of a distinct Acadian identity can be traced to the gradual adaptation of traditional methods, institutions, and ideas to their new environmental and political situations. A compelling comparative analysis based on archival evidence on both sides of the Atlantic, Something of a Peasant Paradise? Challenges the traditional historiography and demonstrates that Acadian society shared many of its characteristics with other French rural societies of the period.
From migrant to Acadian : a North American border people, 1604-1755
by
N.E.S. Griffiths uses the results of forty-five years of archival research in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy to place Acadian history in the context of contemporary North American and European events. She emphasizes relationships with the Mi'kmaq, showing they were of crucial importance in the development of Acadian identity, land-holding practices, settlement patterns, religious beliefs, and family structure. From Migrant to Acadian also explains how the imperial ambitions of both the French and the British collided with the strong belief of the Acadians in their own identity, resulting in the tragic deportation of the majority of the Acadian community in 1755. Although never achieving political independence, the Acadians forged a connection with Canada's broader national identity and continue to play a significant role in the Canadian mosaic.
Acadie Then and Now
by
Acadie Then and Now: A People's History is an international collection of articles from 50 authors that chronicles the historical and contemporary realities of the Acadian and Cajun people worldwide. In 1605, French colonists settled Acadie (today Nova Scotia, Canada) and for the next 150 years developed a strong and unique Acadian culture. In 1755, the British conducted forced deportations of the Acadians rendering thousands homeless, and for the next 60 years these exiles migrated to seaports along the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, eventually settling in new lands. This tragic upheaval did not succeed in extinguishing the Acadians, but instead planted the seeds of many new Acadies, where today their fascinating culture still thrives. This collection includes 65 articles on the Acadians and Cajuns living today in the American states of Louisiana, Texas, and Maine, in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, and Quebec, and in the French regions of Poitou, Belle-Ile-en-Mer, and St-Pierre et Miquelon.
La Sagouine
by
"This is a true story. The story of La Sagouine, a scrubwoman, a woman of the sea, who was born with the century, with her feet in the water. Water was her fortune: the daughter of a cod fisherman, a sailor's girl, and later the wife of a fisherman who took oysters and smelts. A cleaning woman also, who ends up on all fours, with her bucket in front and her hands in the water." -Antonine Maillet With well over 10,000 copies sold in French and English editions, La Sagouine is fast becoming a classic of its genre. The single character is that of La Sagouine, the washerwoman, who fills the stage with the voice of poverty, and of pride. Straight from the heart of Acadian New Brunswick, she is the embodiment of her world, and yet touches the hearts and souls of readers and audiences from all walks of life.
Pélagie-la-Charrette / Pélagie: The Return to Acadie
by
In 1979, the legendary Acadian novelist Antonine Maillet won France's most coveted literary award, the Prix Goncourt, for the original version of this novel, Pélagie-la-Charette. In her acceptance speech, she said, "I have avenged my ancestors." Goose Lane Editions is proud to re-issue this classic of Acadian literature to mark the 400th anniversary of the founding of Acadie and the début of the novel's musical adaptation, Pélagie: An Acadian Odyssey. Directed by Michael Shamata, the musical brings together the words and lyrics of Vincent de Tourdonnet and music by Allen Cole. It will be presented at the Atlantic Theatre Festival in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, from July 27 to August 22, following successful runs at CanStage's Bluma Appel Theatre in Toronto and The National Arts Centre in Ottawa. This funny, lyrical account of a daring Acadian widow's journey home from exile is the Mother Courage of Acadian literature. At thirty-five, Pélagie is a survivor of the Great Disruption of 1755, when British soldiers deported Acadians who had farmed along the Bay of Fundy for generations. Splitting up families, the soldiers tossed men, women, and children pell-mell into ships and dispatched them to ports all along the eastern seaboard of the US and to Louisiana. When it was heard years later that the British would tolerate their return to Acadie, thousands loaded possessions and children onto handcarts and set out on foot. After fifteen years of working as a slave in the cotton fields of Georgia, Pélagie, too, has had enough. Drawn home as if by a magnet, inspired by her love of her family and of Beausoleil, a heroic sea captain, and determined to outrace the "Wagon of Death," Pélagie sets off to take her people on a 3,000-mile trek back to their homeland. Her single cart, pulled by six oxen, soon attracts scattered Cormiers and LeBlancs, Landrys and Poiriers, Maillets and Légers. Together, this caravan of colourful Acadians undertakes a ten-year journey up the Atlantic coast to their childhood homes.
1953 : chronique d'une naissance annoncée / 1953 : chronicle of a birth foretold : a novel
by
Affrontant une nouvelle fois le langage de Bébé M., Garde Vautour ne sait pas qu’elle change la couche et lave les fesses d’une écrivaine. Elle ne sait pas qu’elle a les deux mains plongées dans la littérature en devenir. Elle ne peut apprécier à leur juste valeur les nuances de jaune, de vert et de gris des excréments, sans parler de leur texture graisseuse, de leur fréquence et de leur puanteur. Garde Vautour ne pense pas à la littérature. Elle pense à la vie, à celle de Bébé M. en particulier, qui semble toujours aussi indifférente au fait que la vie pourrait à tout moment lui échapper, se glisser, prendre une autre route, aller s’établir ailleurs. Elle cherche le fil par lequel ramener l’enfant à la vie.
En 1953, le monde occidental est témoin de grands événements : la mort de Staline, le couronnement d’Elizabeth II, la découverte de l’ADN, la publication du Degré zéro de l’écriture. Ces événements, parmi d’autres relatés dans les pages du quotidien l’Évangéline, à Moncton, ponctuent les jours de Garde Vautour et de la mère de Bébé M., aux prises avec les premières manifestations littéraires d’une romancière en gestation

Le huitième jour / On the Eighth Day
by
In On the Eighth Day, Antonine Maillet imagines a solution to the world's problems: a wider and more exuberant world, with its right more left and its left more right, created on "the day when everything is dared and anything is possible." She spins a tale of two brothers -- a giant carved from an oak tree and a scamp shaped out of bread dough -- born one remarkable night when magic made wishes come true. Thrilled to have a son to call their own, Mr. Goodman and Mrs. Goodwife play favourite and bicker over which creation is the better child, causing a rift in the family. To ease the fighting, John-Bear and Big-as-a-Fist decide to set off to seek their fortunes. But first they must visit their godmother, Clara-Galante, to receive their inheritance. A witch who lives deep in the woods, she gives them three wishes and some kind words, before sending the heroes "out into the world to follow their curious destiny beyond the hills on the horizon," left foot first for good luck. Wending their way through unforgettable lands -- the Timeless Village, the Upside-Down Town, the Path of the Vicious Circle -- the lads make many strange friends, who, peculiar as they are, seem strangely familiar. But, wherever Life leads them, Death lurks close behind. A wonderful picaresque akin to a cheerful Gulliver's Travels, a comic Pilgrim's Progressor an Acadian Wizard of Oz, On the Eighth Dayis a fast-moving tale starring richly developed characters in a funny and poignant road story in which allegory gains power by taking a back seat to enchantment.
Don l'Orignal / Tale of Don l'Orginal
by
Winner of the 1979 Governor General's Award for fiction, Antonine Maillet's virtuoso creation, The Tale of Don L'Orignal, is now back in print. Maillet's tale begins one day, not so very long ago but back in the youth of the world, when a hay-covered island materialized off shore, an island populated by fleas who soon took human form. The leader of this uncouth crew of have-nots, Don l'Orignal, wore a moose-antler crown as his badge of office. At his right hand were his brave lieutenants: his son, Noume, and his general, Michel-Archange. The general's wife, the doughty charwoman, spy, and rabble-rouser La Sagouine, had one finger in every pie and one raised to her neighbour, La Sainte.
The Flea Islanders were constantly at odds with the almost as clever but far more civilized upper crust of the mainland village: the mayoress, the schoolteacher, the merchant, the banker. When they invaded and tried to steal a keg of molasses, the outcome of the mock-heroic battle was unclear, except that La Sainte's son, the hapless young Citrouille, and Adeline, the merchant's lovely daughter, had fallen in love.
With the insider's accumulation of oral history, gossip, and shrewd hindsight, Antonine Maillet has conjured up a fictional Acadia that her ancestors would relish. Perhaps those who could read it would have even understood it: she wrote Don l'Orignal in a version of 16th-century domestic French that she adapted for modern readers. In this far-fetched, but always entertaining fable, Maillet holds up a mirror to Acadian history and to an all too fallible human nature.

Mourir à Scoudouc / To Live and Die in Scoudouc
by
First published in 1974, Mourir à Scoudouc merged out of a period of cultural awakening. Chiasson's poems denounced the narrow limitations of the past and traced the lines of a fresh collective vision. The poems were lyrical, referentially modern, and steeped in the rhythms and forms that had emerged from the Americas, Europe, and India. Now, more than 40 years later, Herménégilde Chiasson is considered to be the father of Acadian modernism, and Mourir à Scoudoucis widely regarded as one of the foundational works of modern Acadian literature. Several of the poems, including the oft-anthologized long poem, "Eugénie Melanson," have now achieved iconic status, appearing frequently in books, magazines, and films -- in French and in English. To Live and Die in Scoudoucis the first English edition of this seminal collection. It replicates Chiasson's design of the 2017 edition and features his own photographs as well as his new introductory essay. Although several of the poems have been previously translated, To Live and Die in Scoudoucfeatures fresh renditions by Jo-Anne Elder, who worked closely with Chiasson on the translations.

Depuis ses tout premiers poèmes, la langue a été un aiguillon au cœur de la poésie de Gérald Leblanc. Héritier d'une langue stigmatisée, ce poète acadien éprouve mieux que quiconque la nécessité d'inventer un nouveau langage et il a la droiture et le courage de ne pas chercher dans la vie des autres les modèles de sa langue et de sa poésie. On peut affirmer que ce recueil est sans aucun doute son testament poétique.
Rêves inachevés : anthologie de poésie acadienne contemporaine / Unfinished dreams : contemporary poetry of Acadie

Acadie is a country which exists in the imagination and words of its people. Its literature is young; its poetry has emerged from sheer experimentation with language -- both in its form and its content. But the poetry of Acadie is more than simply experimentation: it is also a political expression, an insistence on the very existence of an imaginative country. This is the first anthology of this type ever to be published in English.

Four people long past their prime; a Breton, a rabbi, a crossing guard, and Evangeline the Acadian, meet in a park and discover they have something in common: they are all living "in exile" in Montreal. It soon becomes obvious that the language of Acadia, like the pine tree Evangeline planted in the heart of the city, refuses to be uprooted. Evangeline embodies the spirit of her people and their will to survive any sort of exile and deportation.

Le Christ est apparu au Gun Club : théâtre
by
Conrad, mécanicien de génie pouvant « démancher » et « ramancher » une voiture en une journée, peut aussi réciter moult passages de l’Évangile. Car comme le souhaitait son père sur son lit de mort, il l’a apprise par cœur, la Bible – bien que parfois le sens de certains mots lui échappe. Venant de quitter son emploi de réparateur de machines à Coke, il se retrouve au Gun Club en compagnie de son ami Simon, là où travaille Véronica, serveuse et chanteuse country avec qui il a déjà eu une relation. En cette soirée d’ivresse et de délivrance, s’il faut l’en croire, le Christ apparaîtra bel et bien au Gun Club. « Conrad a appris par cœur et il veut appliquer par cœur ce qu’il a lu. La réalité lui résiste, il la niera, lui surimposant sa vision du monde avec une telle force qu’elle sera sa réalité. Quête d’un individu à la recherche d’une spiritualité qui compensera sa maigre emprise sur le réel, la démarche de Conrad est d’autant plus tragique qu’elle ne se fonde que sur des mots déconnectés de leur portée symbolique. » Préface, David Lonergan « Le Christ est apparu au Gun Club » a été créée le 23 octobre 2003 par le théâtre l’Escaouette, en coproduction avec le Théâtre français du Centre national des Arts.
Entre textes et images : constructions identitaires en Acadie et au Québec
by
À l’âge de la mondialisation, la notion de l’identité est loin d’être éculée; au contraire, elle reste primordiale dans un monde caractérisé par d’importants mouvements de migration. Aujourd’hui, les constructions identitaires s’avèrent hybrides et métissées. L’hétérogène et l’interculturel l’emportent sur le stable et l’enraciné, si bien que les identités se construisent, se déconstruisent et se reconstruisent inlassablement selon les contextes socioculturels dans lesquels elles évoluent.
En Amérique du Nord, les littérautres acadiennes et québécoises témoignent, parmi d’autres, de la complexité de ce phénomène. Ainsi, les textes réunis dans cet ouvrage se donnent pour objectif d’examiner les enjeux multiples de l’identitaire, et ceci dans les espaces littéraire et pictural de l’Acadie et du Québec. Car l’identité ne veut pas seulement se faire circonscrire pas le discours littéraire ou savant, par des formules toujours plus finenement ciselées, elle veut aussi se faire voir, se présenter dans tout un éventail de formes et de couleurs nuancées qui permettent de l’appréhender de divers angles. Plusieurs articles portent sur un tel entrelacement de textes et d’images; tous contribuent, nous le souhaitons, à faire avancer nos connaissances dans la grande dynamique de l’identitaire.

Regard sur la littérature acadienne (1972-2012)
by
Cette étude littéraire propose un regard personnel sur les principaux écrivains acadiens. Le propos est centré sur leurs œuvres auxquelles s'ajoutent quelques indications biographiques et une mise en contexte. La période couverte va de 1972 à 2012 et est divisée en quatre temps. "Un cri de terre en Acadie (1972-1978)" commence avec la fondation des Éditions d'Acadie qui seront au centre de l'émergence de la littérature acadienne : tous les écrivains qui publient pour la première fois durant les années 1970 le seront par cette maison. "L'Acadie à l'heure de la parole (1978-1991)" est la période qui verra la naissance d'un début d'institutionnalisation de la littérature acadienne. "La diversification de la prise de parole (1991-2000)" est une période de floraison : auteurs, maisons d'édition et organismes culturels créent une mouvance culturelle qui s'incarne aussi bien dans des festivals que dans les institutions. "Réorganisation et diffusion (2000-2012)" commence avec la faillite des Éditions d'Acadie qui contraint une réorganisation du milieu littéraire entrainant paradoxalement une diffusion accrue des œuvres. Chaque période est à son tour divisée en quatre sections : le roman, la poésie, la littérature jeunesse, le théâtre. En fonction de leur production, les auteurs peuvent donc être présentés dans plusieurs des périodes et des sections. On suit ainsi le fil du temps
Acadie multipiste : romans acadiens
by
Le roman acadien contemporain est « multipiste », ouvert à toutes les influences, à toutes les formes d’expression issues de la société acadienne. Antonine Maillet a remporté le prix Goncourt grâce à une œuvre radicalement différente de toutes celles qu’elle avait publiées auparavant. Un chapitre consacré aux coulisses du prestigieux prix vaut le détour. Claude Le Bouthillier, après avoir écrit des romans de science-fiction, publie un roman sur la Déportation. Jacques Savoie traite de sujets contemporains et présente un roman qui s’érige contre l’absence d’amour et la famille divisée. Gérald Leblanc publie un roman éclaté qui retrace la Révolution tranquille acadienne et ouvre des voies narratives nouvelles. France Daigle donne ses lettres de noblesse au chiac et transforme Moncton en centre littéraire. Jean Babineau pousse l’expérience encore plus loin et écrit un roman entièrement en chiac. Fredric Gary Comeau et Daniel Leblanc-Poirier découpent le roman en une série de tableaux, en une œuvre cubiste à recomposer par le lecteur.
Certains écrivains poursuivent dans la veine du discours néonationaliste, d’autres s’engagent dans des voies plus personnelles afin de définir ce que cela veut dire, venir de l’Acadie. La quête de nouveauté et le combat individuel pour se faire entendre se confondent avec le combat pour le pays dans un vibrant plaidoyer pour une reconnaissance du caractère unique et irremplaçable de l’Acadie
Writing Acadia : the emergence of Acadian literature 1970-1990
by
The phenomenal development of writing and literary creation among the francophone communities of eastern Canada has gone largely unnoticed and unprobed outside the fragmented land of Acadia. Writing Acadiaattempts for the first time to observe from a distance the invention of literature in oral Acadia, and to interpret, assess and order the manifold manifestations of the transition from epic story-telling to writing as a means of nation-building. Having begun to write, modern Acadia has truly (re)written herself into existence, an existence now threatened by postmodern unwriting of literature.Destined not only for specialists but also and especially for readers with a general interest in literature, including students of all levels, Writing Acadiapresents generous samples of Acadian poetry, drama and prose, with accompanying English translations.

A Comparison of the Works of Antonine Maillet of the Acadian Tradition of New Brunswick, Canada and Louise Erdrich of the Ojibwe of North America with the Poems of Longfellow
by
Dr. Lyons' study of comparative North American literatures is one of the first to compare Acadian Canadian and Native American writing. Largely unexplored, this branch of comparative literature offers much potential. Perhaps the most exciting part of this critical work is that it erases the divisions that separate the United States from Canada, in particular the linguistic and disciplinary boundaries that isolate writing in English from writing in French.

Becoming Cajun, Becoming American
by
From antebellum times, Louisiana's unique multipartite society included a legal and social space for intermediary racial groups such as Acadians, Creoles, and Creoles of Color. In Becoming Cajun, Becoming American, Maria Hebert-Leiter explores how American writers have portrayed Acadian culture over the past 150 years. Combining a study of Acadian literary history with an examination of Acadian ethnic history in light of recent social theories, she offers insight into the Americanization process experienced by Acadians -- who over time came to be known as Cajuns -- during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Hebert-Leiter examines the entire history of the Acadian, or Cajun, in American literature, beginning with Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem Evangeline and the writings of George Washington Cable, including his novel Bonaventure. The cultural complexity of Acadian and Creole identities led many writers to rely on stereotypes in Acadian characters, but as Hebert-Leiter shows, the ambiguity of Louisiana's class and racial divisions also allowed writers to address complex and controversial -- and sometimes taboo -- subjects. She emphasizes the fiction of Kate Chopin, whose short stories contain Acadian characters accepted as white Americans during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Representations of the Acadian in literature reflect the Acadians' path towards assimilation, as they celebrated their differences while still adopting an all-American notion of self. In twentieth-century writing, Acadian figures came to be more often called Cajun, and increasingly outsiders perceived them not simply as exotic or mythic beings but as complex persons who fit into traditional American society while reflecting its cultural diversity. Hebert-Leiter explores this transition in Ernest Gaines's novel A Gathering of Old Men and James Lee Burke's detective novels featuring Dave Robicheaux. She also discusses the works of Ada Jack Carver, Elma Godchaux, Shirley Ann Grau, and other writers. From Longfellow through Tim Gautreaux, Acadian and Cajun literature captures the stages of this fascinating cultural dynamism, making it a pivotal part of any history of American ethnicity and of Cajun culture in particular. Concise and accessible, Becoming Cajun, Becoming American provides an excellent introduction to American Acadian and Cajun literature.
Postcards from Acadie
by
In Postcards from Acadie, Barbara Le Blanc explores the cultural and symbolic resonance of the Grand-Pré National Historic site. Settled in the 1680s, Grand-Pré was one of the loci for the Acadian deportation in 1755. From the settlement and deportation of the early Acadians, to the mass marketing of the Dominion Atlantic Railway and the federal reshaping as a National Historic site, Grand-Pré has served "as a historical clue, a focal point, a catharsis, a catalyst, and a motivator, both for Acadians and for others." Excavating the political and cultural symbols that have shaped Grand-Pré, Le Blanc explores the ways in which we negotiate personal and group identity. In Acadian endeavours to direct and control a sense of identity in a changing world, Grand-Pré plays a significant role by serving as a place of heritage commemoration and celebration-of past, present, and future.
Acadian Traditions on Candlemas Day
by
The well-known Acadian folklorist and historian Georges Arsenault will givean illustrated talk on two ancient and popular Acadian winter celebrations.The first is known as Chandeleur (Candlemas) and takes place on February 2.The second, called Mi-Carême, is celebrated a few weeks later in the middleof Lent.Georges Arsenault has researched the origins of these joyful traditions andhow they were observed in Acadian communities in Eastern Canada. Publishedby Acorn Press and translated by Sally Ross, the English titles of his twobooks on these winter festivities are: Acadian Traditions on Candlemas Day:Candles, Pancakes, and House Visits and Acadian Mi-Carême: Masks andMerrymaking.Candlemas Day was at one time an important religious and social festivity.Pancakes were the symbolic food of choice. In many Acadian villages, youngmen went from door-to-door collecting food either for a communal feast or togive to the poor. To celebrate Mid-Lent, people visited each other's homesdressed up in masks and costumes, as they still do in the Chéticamp regionof Cape Breton. In some villages, a scary woman called the Mi-Carêmedistributed candies to good little children. In his presentation, Arsenaultwill trace the evolution of these traditions, highlight modern-daycelebrations, and look at the role they still play in Acadian culture.
Acadian Christmas traditions
by
Based on written sources and interviews with Acadians throughout the Maritimes, Acadian Christmas Traditions offers a fascinating look at the evolution of Christmas. This very readable book shows how customs, both spiritual and secular, take hold in families, in villages, and in a culture as a whole. Georges Arsenault, the well-known historian and folklorist, examines all the aspects of the feast of Christmas, from midnight mass to holiday foods. As he chronicles the cultural changes that have taken place over the centuries, he proves that Acadian Christmas today is the result of a wonderful blending of old, new, and borrowed traditions.
La mi-carême en Acadie
by
Les souvenirs de l'ancienne fête de la Mi-Carême demeurent très vivants dans bien des coins de l'Acadie. Pour de nombreuses personnes, il s'agit de souvenirs de leur enfance ou de leur jeunesse, alors que pour d'autres, ce sont des traditions vivantes qui se perpétuent dans leur propre village. En fait, les mi-carêmes n'ont cessé de faire leurs visites annuelles à Chéticamp et à Saint-Joseph-du-Moine en Nouvelle-Écosse, À Fatima aux îles de la Madeleine, Natashquan et à Pointe-Parent sur la Côte-Nord québécoise et dans la région de Tignish à l'île-du-Prince-Édouard.
Les traditions de la Mi-Carême étaient riches et diversifiées en Acadie, et très bien ancrées dans les moeurs. Ainsi, il y avait la mascarade de la Mi-Carême qui se pratiquait généralement en groupe, il y avait la Mi-Carême qui distribuait des friandises aux petits enfants, il y avait celle qui apportait les bébés et les animaux naissants et, bien sûr, pour beaucoup d'enfants, il y avait la Mi-Carême, personnage menaçant qui pouvait venir les chercher s'ils étaient désobéissants.
Pantry and palate : remembering and rediscovering Acadian food
by
In Pantry and Palate, journalist Simon Thibault explores his Acadian roots by scouring old family recipes, ladies' auxiliary cookbooks, and folk wisdom for 50 of the best-loved recipes of Acadians past and present. Recipes run the gamut from Acadian staples such as potato pancakes called Fring Frangs, Rappie Pie, Chicken Fricot, and various forms of meat pies; old-fashioned foodways, such as how to render your own lard, and make the most of out a pig's head; and sumptuous sweets take the form of Rhubarb Custard Pie or a simple Molasses Cake. Thibault not only discovers the past lives of his immediate and extended family, but their larders as well. Including essays celebrating the stories behind the recipes, a foreword by bestselling author Naomi Duguid (Taste of Persia), and photos by noted food photographer Noah Fecks (The Up South Cookbook), Pantry and Palate is magnifique from page to plate.
Le goût français au Canada atlantique, 1604-1758 : une histoire gastronomique = French taste in Atlantic Canada, 1604-1758 : a gastronomic history
by
Le goût Français au Canada Atlantique 1604-1758 : Une Histoire Gastronomique See below for an excerpt. Through stories, images and recipes, French Taste in Atlantic Canada is a study of early French cuisine in the region. À travers récits, recettes, et images, Le goût français au Canada atlantique est une étude de la cuisine française de l’époque coloniale dans la région. The book is an exploration of how the first generations of French who settled in the region learned about, reacted to and began to work with local food knowledge and ingredients. Understanding how people used the food around them, how they combined it with imported foods and techniques, and how they adapted and shared that knowledge, opens a door to the everyday world of the French explorers and colonists in what would become Atlantic Canada. For 21st-century readers, a book about food and culture would be incomplete without the means to experience them; the authors and consultants behind French Taste in Atlantic Canada have studied, recreated and tested dozens of recipes and menus to suit every taste and interest to make this book a treasured addition to historians and foodies alike. Ce livre nous amène à explorer comment les premiers Français établis dans la région ont appris à connaître la cuisine et les ingrédients locaux, y ont réagi et ont commencé à s’y adapter. Comprendre comment les gens utilisaient et manipulaient les aliments locaux, comment ils les agençaient aux aliments et techniques importés et comment ils adaptaient et échangeaient ces connaissances nous fait entrevoir la vie quotidienne des explorateurs et colons français dans la région qui allait devenir le Canada atlantique. Pour les lecteurs du 21e siècle, un livre sur la cuisine et la culture ne serait pas complet sans les moyens de les expérimenter; les auteurs et consultants du Goût français au Canada atlantique ont recherché, recréé, et fait l’épreuve de dizaines de recettes et menus susceptibles de plaire à tous les palais et intérêts pour rendre cette œuvre un atout pour les bibliothèques des historiens et gourmands également.
La cuisine traditionnelle en Acadie / A Taste of Acadie
by
For A Taste of Acadie, Melvin Gallant and Marielle Cormier-Boudreau travelled all over Acadia, from the Gaspé Peninsula to Cape Breton, from the tip of Prince Edward Island to the Magdalen Islands, and around northern New Brunswick and southern Nova Scotia. They gathered the culinary secrets of traditional Acadian cooks while there was still time, and then they adapted more than 150 recipes for today's kitchens. First published in 1991, A Taste of Acadie, the popular English translation of the best-selling Cuisine traditionalle en Acadie, is available once again. The indigenous cuisine of Acadia is a distant relative of French home cooking, born of necessity and created from what was naturally available. Roast porcupine or seal-fat cookies may not be to every modern diner's taste, but the few recipes of this nature in A Taste of Acadiehint at the ingenuity of women who fed their families with what the land provided. Most of the recipes, however, use ingredients beloved of today's cooks. Here you'll find fricot, a wonder of the Acadian imagination, pot en pot, a traditional Sunday dinner sometimes called grosse soupe, and dozens of meat pies. For those with a sweet tooth, Gallant and Cormier-Boudreau include recipes that use maple syrup and fresh wild berries. A Taste of Acadieis traditional cooking at its best, suffusing contemporary kitchens with country aromas and down-home flavours. Decorated with evocative woodcuts by Michiel Oudemans, it is a pleasure to look at and a charming addition in its own right to contemporary country-style kitchens.
Acadian French in Time and Space
by
Acadian French in Time and Space is concerned with varieties of French spoken in Canada's four Atlantic Provinces and in parts of eastern Quebec, along with a close relative, Louisiana French. Ruth King triangulates from evidence for francophone speech communities past and present the grammatical history of these varieties, drawing on contemporary methodology and theory in quantitative and qualitative sociolinguistics and in generative grammar. Of particular interest to sociolinguists who focus on the study of grammatical variation and change and to dialectologists interested in the comparison of geographically dispersed but closely related language varieties, this book will also interest specialists in other North American varieties, such as Quebec French, along with specialists in sociosyntax and in language contact. King explores the preservation of rich verbal morphology and its consequences, mechanisms involved in the spread of particular instances of grammatical change, and the relationship between discourse phenomena and grammar. In addition to bringing to light new data and presenting new analyses, this volume also makes recent scholarship on the evolution and contemporary situation of French accessible to anglophone audiences. Ruth King is professor of linguistics at York University in Toronto. She has published widely on grammatical variation and change in contemporary French varieties and on the sociolinguistic history of the language. Her research areas include language and dialect contact, minority language varieties in the media, and language and identity.

Acadian Legends, Folktales and Songs from Prince Edward Island
by
Island historian and folklorist Georges Arsenault has been collecting songs and stories from Acadian Prince Edward Island since his student days in the 1970s: words gathered by lamplight in the early part of the 20th century, when the local men and women would pass on what they'd learned from elders long gone. His 17 informants were mostly hard-working parents of very large families, some well-educated and some not. Included in this collection are 8 stories, 13 legends and 23 songs with lyrics and musical notation, mainly reproduced from taped interviews. Originally published as Contes, legendes et chansons de l'Île-du-Prince-Edouard, this English translation by Sally Ross includes footnotes and a bibliography, as well as photos of his informants.

From the time of their arrival on Isle Saint-Jean in the early 1700s, Acadian women played a major role in the survival of the colony. Over the generations, they have been active in the home and in the community. They have nursed, taught, worked, sung, prayed, and served. Integrated into a well-documented text with numerous photographs, their testimonies provide a history of the Acadie of Prince Edward Island. This book relates how that history was lived by Acadian women and influenced by their action and determination.
