Drawing on French and Canadian archives, she carefully traces the precise origins of individual immigrants, describing them by gender, class, occupation, region, religion, age, and date of departure. Her archival work is impressive: of the more than 30,000 emigrants who embarked for Quebec and the Maritimes during the French Regime, nearly 16,000 are chronicled here. In considering the pattern of emigration in the context of migration history, Choquette shows that, in many ways, the movement toward Canada occurred as a byproduct of other, perennial movements, such as the rural exodus or interurban labor migrations. Overall, emigrants to Canada belonged to an outwardly turned and mobile sector of French society, and their migration took place during a phase of vigorous Atlantic expansion. They crossed the ocean to establish a subsistence economy and peasant society, traces of which lingered on into the twentieth century. Because Choquette looks at the entire history of French migration to Canada?its social and economic aspects as well as its place in the larger history of migration?her work makes a remarkable contribution in the field of immigration history. 410 0$aHarvard historical studies ;$vv. 123. 606 $aImmigrants$zNew France$xHistory 607 $aNew France$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 607 $aFrance$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aFrance$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aCanada$xHistory$yTo 1763 (New France) 607 $aFrance$xHistory$yBourbons, 1589-1789 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory. 676 $a304.8/71044/09032 700 $aChoquette$b Leslie$0935894 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455187703321 996 $aFrenchmen into peasants$92108262 997 $aUNINA
