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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill Queen's University","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1604388227,"sku":"","price":32.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/1434\/products\/2015-04-23_Ashley_Ipad_pictures_451.JPG?v=1571273207"},{"product_id":"gentlemen-and-jesuits","title":"Gentlemen and Jesuits","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_wpm_ShowProduct_ctl09_lbFieldCSS\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"authorbold\"\u003eBy author: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.nimbus.ca\/cw_contributorinfo.aspx?ContribID=412\u0026amp;Name=Elizabeth+Jones\"\u003eElizabeth Jones\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_wpm_ShowProduct_ctl09_lbPSCaptionCSS\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_wpm_ShowProduct_ctl10_lbFieldCSS\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e * \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_wpm_ShowProduct_ctl11_lbFieldCSS\"\u003e294\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan id=\"ctl00_wpm_ShowProduct_ctl11_lbPSCaptionCSS\"\u003e pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the definitive account of early life in Acadia.

The events that unfolded in this Acadian village during the late summer and fall of 1755 loom large in the history of North America. This well-illustrated book examines the history of Grand-Pré—the most cherished of all Acadian settlements—from the 1680s to 1755. Authors John Johnston and Wayne Kerr bring the thriving village to life, and put in perspective the defining episode in its history, and in the history of the Acadian people as a whole: the tragic Deportation that was carried out across the entire Maritime region beginning in 1755. Today's Grand-Pré, Grand-Pré National Historic Site of Canada, is a place that touches the hearts of millions of Acadians—and millions of others who have come to know its history. A.J.B. (John) Johnston, a historian with Parks Canada, has published extensively, on French colonial Louisbourg in particular. W.P.

John Winslow of Massachusetts was the officer in charge of rounding up and deporting the Acadians from Grand Pré. He arrived on 19 August 1755 with about 300 New England provincial soldiers. He gave no indication of what was to happen, but gave the impression he was there on a routine assignment. His first act was to establish a secure base of operations, because his force was greatly outnumbered by the 2100 Acadian men, women and children living in the Minas Basin area. For his stronghold, Winslow chose the area around the Grand Pré parish church, Saint-Charles-des-Mines. His soldiers erected a palisade around the priest’s house, the church, and the cemetery, and his troops pitched their tents within that enclosure (see Figure 2–32). So as not to upset the Acadians unnecessarily, Winslow informed community leaders they should remove the sacred objects from the church before it became a military base. By early August 1755, the parish priests of Saint-Charles-des-Mines, and of neighbouring parishes, had already been arrested and brought to Halifax to await their deportation to Europe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Semaphore Design Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":1852177859,"sku":"","price":4.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/1434\/products\/2015-04-23_Ashley_Ipad_pictures_280.JPG?v=1571273210"},{"product_id":"grand-pre-cookbook","title":"Cookbook: Grand-Pré","description":"","brand":"Lower Horton United Church Women","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":2134272771,"sku":"","price":18.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/1434\/products\/20160420_201934.jpg?v=1571273211"},{"product_id":"the-tale-of-don-lorignal","title":"The Tale of Don L'Orignal","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor: Antonine Maillet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinner of the 1979 Governor General's Award for fiction, Antonine Maillet's virtuoso creation, \u003ci\u003eThe Tale of Don L'Orignal\u003c\/i\u003e, is now back in print.

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 middle of Lent. Georges Arsenault has researched the origins of these joyful traditions and how they were observed in Acadian communities in Eastern Canada. Published by Acorn Press and translated by Sally Ross, the English titles of his two books on these winter festivities are: Acadian Traditions on Candlemas Day: Candles, Pancakes, and House Visits and Acadian Mi-Carême: Masks and Merrymaking. Candlemas Day was at one time an important religious and social festivity. Pancakes were the symbolic food of choice. In many Acadian villages, young men went from door-to-door collecting food either for a communal feast or to give to the poor. To celebrate Mid-Lent, people visited each other’s homes dressed up in masks and costumes, as they still do in the Chéticamp region of Cape Breton. In some villages, a scary woman called the Mi-Carême distributed candies to good little children. In his presentation, Arsenault will trace the evolution of these traditions, highlight modern-day celebrations, and look at the role they still play in Acadian culture.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nimbus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":4319024899,"sku":"AC0086","price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/1434\/products\/Acadian_Traditions_on_Candlemas_Day.jpg?v=1571273217"},{"product_id":"underground-nova-scotia","title":"Underground Nova Scotia Stories of Archaeology","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eby \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/s\/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;field-author=Paul+Erickson\u0026amp;search-alias=books-ca\"\u003ePaul Erickson\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contribution\" spacing=\"none\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Author), \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"a-link-normal\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/s\/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;field-author=Jonathan+Fowler\u0026amp;search-alias=books-ca\"\u003eJonathan Fowler\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cspan class=\"contribution\" spacing=\"none\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e(Editor)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eUnderground Nova Scotia\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e provides an accessible introduction to the archaeologist work being done across Nova Scotia.

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.

The book tells of his early life events and militant struggles with the British who had for years wanted to lay claim to the Acadians’ rich lands. Subsequent chapters discuss the epic odyssey duringwhich Beausoleil led a group of one hundred ninety-three 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 therepercussions 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 to an eighth generation Beausoleil descendant, Warren A. Perrin, to bring a Petitionseeking an apology from the British Crown in 1990. This Petition was successfully resolved on December 9, 2003, by the signing of the Queen’s Royal Proclamation. Alfred Silver, historical novelist and author of Three HillsHome, said about Acadian Redemption: “Warren A. Perrin brings to historical research a lawyer’s penchant to parse the difference between fact and speculation. Joseph Beausoleil Broussard was the kind of character who cantoo easily be shortchanged by stereotyping, and I’m sure Beausoleil is glad he finally got a good lawyer.” For a refreshing, unique perspective on the events that shaped Louisiana’s Cajun culture, read Acadian Redemption:From Beausoleil Broussard to the Queen’s Royal Proclamation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"author notFaded\" data-width=\"\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contribution\" spacing=\"none\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso available in French\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Éditions LAMBDA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13000114243,"sku":"","price":30.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/1434\/products\/Acadian_Redemption.jpg?v=1571273239"},{"product_id":"french-taste-in-atlantic-canada-1604-1758-a-gastronomic-history-le-gout-francais-au-canada-atlantique-1604-1758-une-histoire-gastronomique","title":"Cookbook: French Taste in Atlantic Canada 1604-1758 A Gastronomic History","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthors: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/s\/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_1?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;field-author=Anne+Maire+Lane+Jonah\u0026amp;search-alias=books-ca\" class=\"a-link-normal\"\u003eAnne Maire Lane Jonah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/s\/ref=dp_byline_sr_book_2?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;field-author=Chantel+V%C3%A9chambre\u0026amp;search-alias=books-ca\" class=\"a-link-normal\"\u003eChantel Véchambre\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-width=\"\" class=\"author notFaded\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"contribution\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-color-secondary\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nimbus Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":13033910723,"sku":"NB1778","price":29.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/1434\/products\/French_taste_cookbook.jpg?v=1571273240"},{"product_id":"deportation-of-the-acadians","title":"The Deportation of the Acadians","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis small booklet describes the tragic events that surrounded the deportation of the Acadian people from Grand-Pré in 1755.  It also includes the Acadian migration to other countries, their ensuing hardships, and the return to Acadie.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBooklet is in both languages (flip side French and English)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hanlon Marketing Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21100604483,"sku":"","price":5.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0870\/1434\/products\/Deportation_of_the_Acadians_Booklet.jpg?v=1571273288"},{"product_id":"the-thundermaker-1","title":"Kaqtukowa’tekete’w The Thundermaker","description":"\u003cp\u003eAuthor: Alan Syliboy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMi’kmaw artist Alan Syliboy’s \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Thundermaker\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is based on Alan’s spectacular mixed-media exhibit of the same name.
