Book Synopsis
A study of Acadian and French rural societies that challenges conventional interpretations of identity and agency in the Atlantic world.

Trade Review
"In Acadian historiography, Something of a Peasant Paradise? is a healthily revisionist work that will alter our understanding and stimulate productive and ongoing interpretive debate." John Reid, Department of History, Saint Mary's University "Something of a Peasant Paradise? is groundbreaking. Though several important studies of Acadia have appeared in the last decade, none focuses strictly on Acadian society and none makes an explicit comparison to the sending society - ancien regime France. "In revising conventional wisdom, Kennedy has provided much food for thought in a book that is engagingly written and grounded in significant archival research on both sides of the Atlantic." Ronald Rudin, Canadian Historical Review
