Keys to History
In the 1960s and 1970s, writers, songwriters and artists began to sketch a portrait of an Acadie with new values, yet still marked by the tragedy of the Deportation of 1755.
Claude LeBouthillier's novel, L'Acadien reprend son pays, published by Éditions d'Acadie of Moncton in 1977, can be called utopian. In it Acadians take back their land, their natural resources and their future.
In 2000 Claude LeBouthillier received New Brunswick's Pascal Poirier Award for excellence in French-language literature, for his body of work.
