Alliance Française du Maine is pleased to present an engaging literary panel with the authors of French All Around Us Volume 2: Exploring the Legacy and Future of Francophonie in the USA on Saturday, March 14th at 2:30 p.m. The event will take place at Good Medicine Collective, located at 231 York Street in Portland.
This timely and thought-provoking volume brings together voices that examine the deep roots, current vitality, and emerging horizons of francophone cultures across the United States. In Maine, where francophone heritage and Acadian traditions have shaped communities for generations, this book offers particularly resonant insights. It highlights the ways in which language, culture, and identity continue to thrive, adapt, and influence our shared civic and cultural life.
Join us as the authors discuss key themes from the book, reflect on the importance of francophone expression in Maine and beyond, and explore how this work contributes to broader conversations about linguistic diversity, cultural preservation, and the future of the francophonie in the United States.
This event is open to all — whether you are a longtime francophone community member, a student of language and culture, or simply curious about the dynamic legacy of French in America. Don’t miss this opportunity for meaningful dialogue and community celebration.
