- Title
L'histoire de l'Acadie telle que racontée par les jeunes francophones du Nouveau-Brunswick: construction et déconstruction d'un récit historique.
- Authors
Robichaud, Marc
- Abstract
On the basis of a survey conducted among New Brunswick francophone students in Grade 12 by the Institut d'etudes acadiennes of the Université de Moncton, the author offers an analysis of the relationship they have to the historical past. As part of this inquiry, students were asked to draft a composition describing the history of Acadia from its origins to the present day. A number of elements in the accounts given by these young people, especially the central place given to the events of the Deportation, demonstrate the durability of a vision of Acadian history that dates back to the second half of the 18th century as well as a pertinent understanding of the Acadian past.
