Title
American Migration, Settlement, and 'Belonging' in Francophone Canada
Abstract
More Americans now reside in Canada than at any time since the Vietnam War. Of particular note is the surprisingly large population of immigrants from the United States who reside in Montreal. The author documents and analyzes the migration experiences, spatial patterns, and 'sense of belonging' of Americans in Montreal during the post-Vietnam era framed within the larger political and linguistic context of the city's 'Two Solitudes.' Findings are based on information compiled from archival materials, census records, structured and unstructured interviews, survey questionnaires, participant observation, and fieldwork. Her overarching goal is to embed the experiences and patterns of this English-speaking group of immigrants in predominately French-speaking Montreal during the past five decades - one of the most dramatic and divisive periods of time in Montreal and in Quebec as a whole.
