Careermageddon by Marcia Lareau
Correcting the notion that French influence in the Americas was confined mostly to Qu bec and New Orleans, this collection reveals a wide range of vibrant French-speaking communities in the Americas both during and long after the end of French colonial rule. Analyzing artifacts including clay pipes, colonoware, and food remains alongside a rich body of historical records, contributors focus on how French descendants impacted North America, the Caribbean, and South America even after 1763. They argue that communities do not need to be located in French colonies or contain French artifacts to be considered Francophone, and they show that many Francophone groups were composed of a complex mix of ethnic French, M tis, Native Americans, and African Americans. This volume emphasizes that French colonists and their descendants have played an important role in New World histories.
