A journalistic debate began on the merits of repatriation, some newspapers calling those Francos who returned to Québec traitors while other papers used the same epithet to describe those Francos who remained in New England.
As will be demonstrated, it provided very good analytical material for reflection on the relationships between Anglos and Francos in Quebec. […] Firstly, the Francos of Quebec are perceived as being in general agreement on their collective name, which name others are also seen to recognize.
Because of my earlier interest in ethnic relations in New England—e.g. the Anglos and Francos in New Hampshire and Maine (Khleif 1973)—and my familiarity with British community studies, I became interested in Welsh-English relations and did fieldwork on that subject in 1973–1974.
In my own case in the area of Mile-End (a mixed neighborhood of Jews, Greeks, Portuguese, Anglos, Francos), my back balcony (or more precisely, la galérie) is a mere foot and a half wide and joins me with my two neighbors, women with whom I often converse.
