Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 809

In Contemporary Quebec, leading scholars raise provocative questions about the ways in which Quebec has been transformed since the Second World War and offer competing interpretations of the reasons for the province's quiet and radical revolutions.

Contemporary Quebec Criticism
Author: Larry Shouldice
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781487574864
Category : LITERARY CRITICISM
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
The is the first collection translated into English of what critics are saying in French about Quebec writing. Ten carefully selected articles are arranged under the heading of 'backgrounds' and 'themes and genres.' All are general in scope: rather than focusing on the work of particular writers, they present a broad view of Quebec literature and culture, and give a representative sampling of the concerns and approaches of Quebec critics over the last twenty years. In the introduction, Larry Shouldice traces the origin and evolution and Quebec criticism, past and present trends, and changing direction. He also discusses the importance of nationalism in Quebec writing, and outlines the relationship between Quebec literature and other national literatures, particularly that of France. A selected bibliography suggests sources for further reading. No study of French-Canadian literature can be completely without reference to the rich and diverse body of criticism that has developed along with it. This is a unique introduction for English-speaking readers, one that should be required reading for all courses in Canadian literature and culture.

Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec
Author: Antoine Brousseau Desaulniers
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0228017920
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
Quebec’s most recent attempts to assert its distinctiveness within Canada have relied on unilateral constitutional means to strengthen its French and secular character, suggesting that an important change of political culture has taken place in Quebec. With its diverse team of researchers, Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec considers the recent history of the debate that once threatened Canada with disjunction, exploring the federalist thought that continues to shape constitutional debate in Quebec. Examining historical perspectives from 1950 to the present day, the volume draws portraits of the key actors in the federalist movement – including political leaders, intellectuals, academics, activists, and spokespersons for pressure groups – comparing their various outlooks, interventions, and values, and examining the ties that bind these actors to the sense of nationalism that emerged during Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. Taking a multidisciplinary approach, Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec casts new light on the continuing debate surrounding Quebec’s place in Canada and gives nuance to what is traditionally conceived as a rigid opposition between sovereigntists and federalists in the province.
