The essays in this volume consider a range of negotiations around francophone identity in Canada (Quebec, Acadia, Ontario, Saskatchewan), in the Caribbean, in Belgium and in Switzerland, and also with regard to Jewishness within European and Canadian francophonie. Their arrangement, starting with the Americas and concluding with Europe, provides a structural foregrounding of the shifting emphasis of the margins/centre debate, which also serves to resituate the more occulted, but no less significant, uncertainties of minority francophone cultures in Europe.
Ce recueil d'essais examine les n gociations vari es autour de l'identit francophone au Canada (Qu bec, Acadie, Ontario, Saskatchewan), aux Antilles, en Belgique, en Suisse, et dans l' criture juive francophone de l'Europe et du Canada. Prenant les Am riques comme point de d part et l'Europe comme point de chute, il met en relief, de par cette organisation, l'accentuation changeante du d bat entre les marges et le centre, tout en resituant du m me coup les incertitudes plus cach es mais non moins significatives des cultures francophones minoritaires de l'Europe.
