“…Some of these migrants might have been persuaded to return through the efforts of both the Quebec and the Canadian governments to repatriate Canadians, but there is no way to know how many were influenced by such measures (LeBlanc 1983). There is sufficient reason to suspect that many in the small Yarmouth sample who were Canadian-born but American citizens were just returning to Nova Scotia for a visit.…”

The Canadian-American borderlands have been configured and reconfigured by dynamic flows of trade, investment, migration, family connection, cooperation, and community across the border. One can view this and other borderlands as a dynamic spatiotemporal network with flows, gateways, corridors, and places or as a matrix: a complex web of interactions and dependencies that can in many places at different times be seen to be embedded in unequal economic relations. This article focuses specifically on migration flows in the Canadian-American borderlands during the turn-of-thetwentieth-century period. Flows of people during this period integrated communities on both sides of the border, but such movements varied among the regions that make up the borderland zone. The article uses Canadian and American border-crossing records to show that Canada-U.S. migration must be viewed in relation to patterns of regional transborder development.

“…Mais, selon Robert G. LeBlanc, la plupart d'entre eux abandonnent rapidement. La dureté des conditions dans cette zone encore éloignée décourage plusieurs de ceux qui s'étaient déjà acclimatés au milieu urbain de la Nouvelle-Angleterre 97 . La colonisation redeviendra à la mode beaucoup plus tard, quand la crise des années 1930 entraînera la fermeture de filatures importantes; des Franco-Amé-ricains opteront alors pour cette solution de dernier recours contre la misère urbaine, mais on ne connaît pas les effectifs en cause 98 .…”

Les migrations des États-Unis vers le Québec sont au cœur de cet article. L’examen de l'historiographie permet d'abord de proposer une périodisation de l'immigration des Américains, chaque étape étant caractérisée par un type d’immigrant: le colon (1792-1820), l’entrepreneur (1820-1880), le gestionnaire et l'expert (1880-1940). L’importance du retour au Québec de centaines de milliers de Franco-Américains est ensuite mise en lumière. L’étude des biographies de membres des élites révèle la diversité de leurs trajectoires nord-américaines. Pour les autres composantes de la population, un bilan des recherches récentes est proposé. L’auteur conclut cet état de la question en soulignant l'importance de ce double mouvement migratoire pour l'interprétation de l'histoire du Québec et suggère des pistes de recherches futures.This article deals with the migration flows from the United States to Québec.

Second, the importance of the Franco -American return migrationis highlighted. The diversity of the elites’ North-American migrations is revealed through biographical research.
