Class Description:

If you would like to learn more about these places, enroll in a class that is being offered for the first time at the University of Minnesota.

Ce cours est une introduction aux différentes communautés francophones en Amérique du Nord. Nous retracerons l'histoire de ces communautés au Canada, aux États-Unis et à Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (une collectivité d'outre-mer française) et examinerons les différentes manifestations des cultures francophones qui se sont développées: leur langue, leur musique, leurs traditions, leurs drapeaux, leur cuisine, leur littérature et leur cinéma. Nous explorerons aussi l'impact que ces cultures exercent sur une région majoritairement anglophone.
