Synopsis

French all around us – French Language and Francophone Culture in the United States. Edited by Kathleen Stein-Smith and Fabrice Jaumont. French is literally everywhere – in our history and values, in our families, and in our neighborhoods and communities, from the croissant or macaron in our local café or bistro to family and place names across the country. These are the stories of French language and Francophone culture in the US, but, even more importantly, the stories of Franco-Americans – ranging from descendants of the earliest French explorers and French-Canadian immigrants to the newest arrivals in the US from throughout the Francophone world. This book is of interest to all of us, whatever our background, as the experience of French language and Francophone culture in the US has similarities to and intersects with the many languages and cultures that have contributed to the American experience.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Dounia Stewart-McMeel soutient que les enfants ont besoin d'être passionnés pour apprendre. Ses cinq années de tutorat et de bénévolat dans les écoles ont aidé bien des enfants à découvrir de façon ludique les mathématiques et les sciences. Son but est maintenant de proposer sa nouvelle méthode d'apprentissage sous forme de livres. Son premier ouvrage, Let's Visit the Solar System, est ludique, instructif et contribuera très certainement à rendre les enfants plus curieux de l'espace et de notre système solaire.
