Description

Building upon the rich foundation of the first volume, French All Around Us French, Language and Francophone Culture in the United States, this new collection delves even further into the vibrant, ever-evolving stories of the French language and Francophone culture throughout the United States. From the enduring Franco-American enclaves in New England and the Midwest to emerging voices in the Rust Belt and the South, the book showcases the linguistic, historical, and cultural significance of French-speaking communities, longstanding and newly arrived-who continue to shape the American experience.

The chapters gathered here reflect the diverse tapestry of Francophonie across the country. They reveal the legacy of Franco-Canadian and Acadian migrations, the complex identities of Haitian and Senegalese diaspora communities, the ongoing importance of bilingual education and advocacy, and the depth of artistic expressions ranging from architecture and literature to culinary traditions and music. Through personal narratives, research-based insights, and forward-looking policy recommendations, French All Around Us underscores how French remains not just an academic subject or a heritage language, but a living, creative force woven into everyday American life.
