The first biography of an Acadian exile, Acadian Redemption defines the eighteenth-century society of Acadia into which Joseph dit Beausoleil Broussard was born. The book tells of his early life, his struggles with the British, and of the epic odyssey during which Beausoleil led a group of 193 Acadians from Nova Scotia to Louisiana, the New Acadia, with the hope that his beloved Acadian culture would survive. The last half of 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, and how it led the author, an eighth-generation Beausoleil descendant, to bring a petition in 1990 seeking an apology from the British Crown. This petition was successfully resolved on December 9, 2003, by the signing of the Queen’s Royal Proclamation

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.

L Acadie hier et aujourd hui L histoire d un peuple est un recueil d articles rédigés par 50 auteurs d Amérique du Nord et d Europe, qui rendent compte des réalités historiques et contemporaines des Acadiens et des Cadiens à travers le monde. En 1605, des colons français ont établi l Acadie (aujourd hui, la Nouvelle-Écosse au Canada) et au cours des 150 années suivantes, ils ont développé une culture riche, distincte et singulière. En 1755, Les Britanniques ont brutalement déporté des milliers d Acadiens qui se sont retrouvés sans foyer. Au cours des 60 années qui ont suivi, ces exilés ont erré de port en port, le long de l océan Atlantique et du golfe du Mexique, pour enfin trouver refuge sur de nouvelles terres et s y installer. Ce terrible bouleversement, loin d écraser à jamais les Acadiens, a plutôt ensemencé de nombreuses Acadies nouvelles, dont la culture fascinante fleurit encore aujourd hui. Ce recueil regroupe 65 articles sur les Acadiens et les Cadiens qui vivent aujourd hui dans les États américains de la Louisiane, du Texas et du Maine, dans les provinces canadiennes du Nouveau-Brunswick, de la Nouvelle-Écosse, de l Île-du-Prince-Édouard, de Terre-Neuve et du Québec, et dans les régions françaises du Poitou, de Belle-Île-en-Mer et de Saint-Pierre et Miquelon. Ce livre offre un point de vue international et, de ce fait, apporte un nouvel éclairage sur le passé, le présent et l avenir des descendants acadiens de toutes les Acadies, où qu elles soient dans le monde.

L'Acadie Hier et Aujourd'hui (French Edition)

Product description Over the last two and a half centuries, the Acadian Deportation and the epic poem Evangeline have defined the French-speaking people known as Acadians. After their tragic deportation by the British from their homeland, Acadia, now known as Nova Scotia, those who re-settled in Louisiana are today called Cajuns―American, yet clearly distinct. Seeking an Acadian Nation―The 1930 Diary of an Evangeline Girl is a book based on the travel journal and scrapbook of Corinne Broussard, a young woman from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, who, along with 24 other Evangeline Girls, represented Louisiana in Canada for the 175th anniversary of the Deportation. Here in Corinne's own words is the story of her adventure―a 17-day, 3,000-mile train trip called a pilgrimage by Sen. Dudley J. LeBlanc who spearheaded the trip, and who was preparing to run for governor of Louisiana. This was the first time a group of Cajuns returned to their ancestral homeland since the exile began in 1755. It could be considered the birth of the French Renaissance in Louisiana. Beginning in the 1880s, Acadian leaders in Canada began a movement to reunite all of the Acadians in the world based upon a common language, religion, genealogy, and history. This book has three parts: first, the efforts at reunification to create an Acadian Nation (1880-1930); second, the pilgrimage to Grand-Pré as reported in Corinne's diary, with annotations (1930); and third, the Louisiana French Renaissance (1930-present). This narrative aligns Corinne's personal experiences with the Great Depression, emerging women's rights, religion, prohibition, and other forces reshaping the modern world in between the two world wars. Her journal reveals how history can be gleaned from resources such as scrapbooks, newspapers, correspondence, and diaries. Although the diary and annotations are in English, half of the 46 newspaper articles and other items in the scrapbook materials are in French.
