Wow! Congratulations, Phil Comeau!

In the attached post, I have included links to the news release, published October 4 so please share the news! Merci!

Have also noted in the post that the collective work, titled, Acadie Then and Now: A People's History (2014), edited by Warren Perrin, Phil Comeau and Mary Perrin, which chronicles the past and present histories of Acadians worldwide, was awarded the Prix France-Acadie 2015.  

The book has an "international" sensibility that no other book of its kind has captured, before or since -- and this is what makes Acadie Then and Now a unique, precious, and ultimately a prize-winning work. 

Thank you also, Phil Comeau, for your work in pulling all of the authors and their contributions together so that book could make it into print!  You'll recognize a few of the co-author's names -- and one of the co-authors, in particular, runs the Our Acadian Roots Group! :)

Good stuff, Marie.  When I announced this book (upon its publication) on a certain Acadian website run by a certain lady named LeBlanc…, I was blocked & excoriated for “advertising.” (FGS)  The book is a useful & diverse resource, & ot graces my bookshelves.  Thanks.

Hello, John Estano DeRoche.  

Indeed, the book is a remarkable testament to the resiliency of the Acadian people -- worldwide!

That Phil Comeau was named to the "Order of Nova Scotia" stands on its own merit, is truly remarkable, and the good news needs to be shared! 

This is truly a win for Phil Comeau and the Acadian Community at large needs to hear about it!

I've added the link to the official news release and other links that you may use as you like when you share.

Best regards,

Marie Rundquist
