Abstract
Abstract:Cet article examine l’immigration écossaise en Nouvelle-Écosse dans une perspective environnementale. Big Island, qui est absente depuis longtemps des annales historiques, est un microcosme qui illustre la thèse d’Alfred Crosby au sujet de la nouvelle Europe. La théorie fondatrice de l’historien de l’environnement n’a jamais été appliquée à l’histoire de l’immigration écossaise, au Canada ou ailleurs, et son application à Big Island révèle une forte enclave culturelle et géographique qui témoigne de la puissance durable du lieu.Abstract:This article examines Scottish immigration to Nova Scotia from an environmental perspective. Big Island, which has been long absent from the historical record, is a microcosm of Alfred Crosby’s New Europe thesis. The environmental historian’s seminal theory has never been applied to the Scottish immigration story, in Canada or abroad, and applying it to Big Island reveals a strong cultural and geographic enclave that serves as a testament to the enduring power of place.
