{"product_id":"acadians-of-nova-scotia-9781551090122","title":"Acadians of Nova Scotia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first work devoted exclusively to Acadians in Nova Scotia, this book presents a thorough study of Acadian history from the earliest days of French settlement to present-day Acadian communities. Authors Sally Ross and Alphonse Deveau draw on original seventeenth-century texts, as well as up-to-date sources. They examine the history of the Expulsion--the \u003ci\u003eGrand Dérangement\u003c\/i\u003e--that began in 1755, and trace the return of the Acadians and their resettlement in seven areas of the province. The authors highlight the distinct features that have developed within these different regions of Nova Scotia and discuss the choices and challenges faced by Acadians today: the linguistic assimilation and preservation of a distinct culture against pressures from the mainstream culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAcadians of Nova Scotia\u003c\/i\u003e won the 1993 Dartmouth Book Award for non-fiction and the 1993 Evelyn Richardson Memorial Literary Prize for non-fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nimbus Publishing (CN)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781551090122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.08w x 0.54d","brand":"Alphonse Deveau,Sally Ross","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52259560456373,"sku":"9781551090122","price":18.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_c3f4a271-0ef5-4c20-8b7b-3010cbd63a81.jpg?v=1771342195","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/acadians-of-nova-scotia-9781551090122","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
