Correcting the notion that French influence in the Americas was
confined mostly to Quebec and New Orleans, this collection reveals
a wide range of vibrant French-speaking communities in the Americas
both during and long after the end of French colonial rule.
Analyzing artifacts including clay pipes, colonoware, and food
remains alongside a rich body of historical records, contributors
focus on how French descendants impacted North America, the
Caribbean, and South America even after 1763. They argue that
communities do not need to be located in French colonies or contain
French artifacts to be considered Francophone, and they show that
many Francophone groups were composed of a complex mix of ethnic
French, Metis, Native Americans, and African Americans. This volume
emphasizes that French colonists and their descendants have played
an important role in New World histories.
