Huguenot Refugees in Colonial New York – Becoming American in the Hudson Valley de Paula Wheeler Carlo

Huguenot Refugees in Colonial New York – Becoming American in the Hudson Valley

Autor Paula Wheeler Carlo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 feb 2005
Drawing comparisons with the broader Huguenot diaspora, this book reassesses the prevailing view that Huguenots in North America quickly conformed to Anglicanism and abandoned the French language and other distinctive characteristics in order to assimilate into Anglo-American culture. Although the standard interpretation may still be true for Huguenots in heterogeneous urban communities, it should be modified for Huguenots in ethnically and religiously homogeneous rural settlements like New Paltz and New Rochelle, where the process was more akin to a gradual acculturation.

Recenzii

"Carlo observes a gradual process of acculturation in these tow rural areas - not a quick assimilation - and bases her observation on the continued use of French in the private sphere, such as manuscript sermons, church records, and business and family records. ... Chapters on family structure, inheritance patterns (testators in both communities adhered to French and Dutch practices rather than English), slaveholding, and the run-up to the Revolution (both were pro-Independence) are full of interesting detail that places these two communities squarely into the context of other colonial communities, while also establishing some differences." --De Halve Maen
