Notes from Exile: On Being Acadian
Overview
Notes from Exile gathers personal essays and historical reflection on Acadian identity. The book examines how a displaced people have preserved language, custom and community across centuries.

Part memoir and part cultural study, the writing moves between childhood recollections and broader historical context to consider how memory and place shape identity.

This seller was incredible. I purchased an inexpensive (used) book and was almost immediately notified that it shipped on the same day I ordered it. I received it within 2 days. It was exactly as described - it looked like it had never even been read! Great service & a great product. Thanks!
