Aux États-Unis, le français est littéralement partout : du croissant ou du macaron que l'on déguste dans un café ou bistrot en passant par les noms de famille et de lieux à consonance francophone, il imprègne l'histoire des habitants, leurs valeurs, leurs familles, leurs quartiers et leurs communautés. Ce livre, dédié à la langue française et à la culture francophone en Amérique, nous raconte l'histoire des Franco-Américains, descendants des premiers explorateurs français et des immigrants canadiens-français, mais également celle des francophones arrivés récemment sur cette rive de l'Atlantique. L'ouvrage s'adresse à chacun de nous, quelles que soient nos origines, car la francophonie américaine est liée aux nombreuses langues et cultures ayant façonné les États-Unis et avec lesquelles elle s'entremêle parfois.
