Publisher's Synopsis
This work offers a fascinating insight into the history and culture of the Acadian people, who were displaced from their ancestral homeland in the Maritime provinces of Canada in the 18th century.

He provides a nuanced and empathetic perspective on one of the most misunderstood and marginalized groups in North American history. The book sheds light on the enduring legacy of the Acadian people and their contribution to the cultural and social diversity of the continent.
