Summary:

Gregory M. W. Kennedy's book offers a comprehensive historical analysis of the rural societies of Acadie and the Loudunais between 1604 and 1755. It challenges previous assumptions about the inefficacy of the seigneurial system in Acadie by demonstrating its functional dynamics. Kennedy employs a comparative perspective, contrasting Acadie with the Loudunais region in France to explore similarities and differences in their rural societies. The work addresses the development of an Acadian identity prior to the deportation of 1755 and integrates Acadie into the broader context of Atlantic history. Aimed at historians and students of Canadian and French Atlantic history, this book is a significant contribution to the understanding of rural Acadian society and its historical context.
