    • Abstract:
      The French Canadians that settled in New England between 1850 and 1930 were hoping to maintain a French stronghold in the United States. With each wave of migration, the French-Canadian elites made speeches to their departing compatriots, encouraging them to return home. This article examines the strategies made in these speeches, varying from denigration to glorification. Franco-American authors Honoré Beaugrand and Emma Dumas countered these images by promoting positive literary representations of the French New England communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
    • Abstract:
      Les Canadiens français qui se sont établis en Nouvelle-Angleterre de 1850 à 1930 espéraient maintenir un bastion francophone aux États-Unis. Avec chaque vague de migrants, l'élite canadienne-française présentait des discours à leurs compatriotes émigrants, les encourageant à revenir à la maison. Cet article examine les stratégies utilisées lors de ces discours, allant du dénigrement à la glorification. Les auteurs franco-américains Honoré Beaugrand et Emma Dumas contraient ces images en promouvant des représentations littéraires positives des communautés francophones de la Nouvelle-Angleterre.
