Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia
Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia draws on recent research to underscore the various ways Iberian women influenced and contributed to their communities, engaging with a broader academic discussion of women’s agency and cultural impact in the Iberian Peninsula. By focusing on women from across the socioeconomic and religious spectrum—elite, bourgeois, and peasant Christian women, Jewish, Muslim, converso, and Morisco women, and married, widowed, and single women—this volume highlights the diversity of women’s experiences, examining women’s social, economic, political, and religious ties to their families and communities in both urban and rural environments. Comprised of twelve essays from both established and new scholars, Women and Community in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia showcases groundbreaking work on premodern women, revealing the complex intersections between gender and community while highlighting not only relationships of support and inclusion but also the tensions that worked to marginalize and exclude women.
Dictionary of French Family Names in North America
This dictionary contains data not only on the origins of French surnames in Québec and Acadia, a great many of which eventually spread to many parts of North America, but also on those which arrived in the United States directly from various French-speaking European and Caribbean countries. In addition to providing the etymology of the original surnames, it also lists the multifarious variants that have developed over the last four centuries. A unique feature of this work in comparison to other onomastics dictionaries is the inclusion of genealogical information on most of the Francophone migrants to this continent, something which has been rendered possible not only by the excellent record-keeping in French Canada since the very beginnings of the colony, but also through the explosion of such data on the internet in the last couple of decades. In sum, this dictionary serves the dual purpose of providing information on the meanings of French family names on the North American continent, as well as on the migrants who brought them there.

Les Basques
Cet ouvrage, se propose de mettre l'accent sur la logique de la société traditionnelle basque. Une logique bien différente de celle des sociétés patriarcales. Faut-il la qualifier de matriarcale ? Assurément oui si l'on admet que le matriarcat repose sur une égalité des sexes et des générations devant l'héritage du nom et du bien, un recentrement sur l'enfant rendu possible par la croyance en la mère phallique, et non une domination des femmes. Tel est le schéma de pensée de cette société agro-pastorale basque.
Au chemin de Maia
Il s'agit d'une de ces histoires qui ne s'inventent pas : celle d'un joueur qui, ayant brisé la vie de sa famille et la sienne dans les années quarante-deux et suivantes, devint un paria sur lequel est tombée une chape de silence. Sa fille, qui lui a gardé un amour inconditionnel après la seule dizaine de jours passés en sa compagnie à ses quatre ans et demi, se remémore, bien des années plus tard, les faits marquants de l'existence de cet homme et les conséquences qu'ils eurent sur sa propre vie d'enfant. Elle tente de le ressusciter et de traduire l'émotion qu'elle avait éprouvée lorsque, au bas d'une prairie, il lui était apparu au terme d'un cheminement de trois kilomètres dans une petite vallée montagneuse.
