A look into the lives of French-speaking American Acadians, particularly those who left eastern Canada to settle in Massachusetts in the 1960s, this book captures and explores their feelings about family life and their values, morés and morals. It traces the ways they use communication to develop and maintain their culture.

To talk about Acadians you must talk about work. This group gives new insight into the
world of work — a central feature of living for Acadians and crucial to their self-
definition.
There are very few sources about French-speaking American Acadians and their
experiences in the United States. This book contributes to communication studies,
specifically Coordinated Management Meaning, by analyzing the situated interactions
of this community, demonstrating the capacity of communication to transmit the rules
and grammar of a culture, highlighting Cronen’s consequentiality of communication.
John Chetro-Szivos is chair of the Department of Communication at Fitchburg State

the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He has published several works in the field of
communication, specifically on the Coordinated Management of Meaning theory and
American pragmatism.
