Canadiens en Guyane, 1754-1805
En 1763-1764, la France envoya 14 à 16.000 colons canadiens en Guyane. Le ministre Choiseul imaginait ainsi une nouvelle Nouvelle-France où les Canadiens pourraient se réinsérer en terroir colonial français. L'ouvrage propose une histoire sociale de ce mouvement migratoire.
The Cajuns
One of the darkest events in Canadian history is replete with the drama of war, politics and untold human suffering. Starting in 1755, 10,000 people of French ancestry were expelled from their homes along Canada's east coast by a tyrannical British governor with the complicity of American sympathizers. While some Acadians returned home to try to evade capture and forge a living, others made their way to the Spanish colony of Louisiana, where they farmed and fished and began the vibrant "Cajun" culture that is renowned around the world. Award-winning author Dean Jobb has written a dramatic and compelling account of "Le grand derangement" -- the event that was immortalized in Longfellow's famous poem "Evangeline." Jobb brings a cast of characters to life so vividly that the reader is immediately captured by their stories. The richness of detail is remarkable. The quality of writing is cinematic. The year 2005 marks the 250th anniversary of the expulsion. This book is a bridge across the centuries for the descendants of a founding people of this nation, whose courage and resourcefulness still resonate in modern-day Acadie.

From Migrant to Acadian
Despite their position between warring French and British empires, European settlers in the Maritimes eventually developed from a migrant community into a distinctive Acadian society. From Migrant to Acadian is a comprehensive narrative history of how the Acadian community came into being. Acadian culture not only survived, despite attempts to extinguish it, but developed into a complex society with a unique identity and traditions that still exist in present day Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Brève histoire du peuplement européen en Nouvelle-France
Une étude qui compare la colonisation de la Nouvelle-France avec celle des autres colonies françaises, en Amérique du Nord et aux Antilles. Malgré le nombre limité d'habitants sur place, il en ressort que c'est la Nouvelle-France qui offrait les conditions de vie les plus favorables et les meilleurs résultats en termes de peuplement de souche européenne. Plusieurs facteurs de la colonisation nord-américaine expliquent l'amorce du peuplement en Nouvelle-France: l'exode de groupes religieux minoritaires, l'esclavage (défavorable aux populations de souche européenne puisqu'elle a privilégié l'immigration noire, au détriment de la population blanche aux Antilles), le commerce colonial. En Nouvelle-France, le peuplement a été favorisé grâce à l'envoi considérable de militaires, des possibilités de travail pour les jeunes célibataires et l'immigration féminine. [SDM].
