Originally published in 1847, Longfellow's poem throws into sharp relief a dark chapter of Canada's history, while also showcasing a strong female character that has left an indelible mark on generations of Acadians, French Canadians, Cajuns, and Creoles. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining aspects both historical and literary that led to ﾉvang駘ine's idolization across countries, cultures, and decades, sociologist Joseph Yvon Th駻iault presents three versions of the celebrated heroine: ﾉvang駘ine the American, ﾉvang駘ine the Acadian, and ﾉvang駘ine the Cajun. The crux of his narrative seeks to understand if these three distinct identities might be merged, and whether they will survive the effects of globalization. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePassionate and engaging, \u003ci\u003eﾉvang駘ine\u003c\/i\u003e is a postmodern study on the many interpretations of this literary icon, and the melting pot of cultures she has traversed and influenced.
