Book Synopsis Contemporary Quebec by : Michael D. Behiels
Download or read book Contemporary Quebec written by Michael D. Behiels and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2011-11-30 with total page 809 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last seventy years, Quebec has changed from a society dominated by the social edicts of the Catholic Church and the economic interests of anglophone business leaders to a more secular culture that frequently elects separatist political parties and has developed the most comprehensive welfare state in North America. 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.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Quebec and the United States, 1960-1985 by : Alfred Olivier Hero
Download or read book Contemporary Quebec and the United States, 1960-1985 written by Alfred Olivier Hero and published by [Cambridge, Mass.] : Center for International Affairs, Harvard University ; Lanham, Md. : University Press of America. This book was released on 1988 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Contemporary Quebec and the United States, 1960-1985 two leading scholars of Quebec's recent past and future prospects have created the first comprehensive exploration in nearly half a century of Quebec's most important political, economic, and social relations outside of Canada-those with the United States. Drawing on nearly a decade of systematic empirical research from the Quiet Revolution through the departures of Prime Minister Trudeau in 1984 and of the Parti Quebe_ois from power in Quebec in 1985, the authors contend that enduring nationalist sentiment among Quebec's francophones will lead to the resurgence of the movement for independence unless English-speaking Canada accepts wider Quebec autonomy within the Canadian federation. They believe that this nationalism, strongly critical of anglophone Canada but by-and-large favorable to the United States, will become more willing to accept the risks of independence as Quebec's economic and other links with its superpower neighbor continue to grow. This provocative and insightful study will be a standard work for years to come. Co-published with the Harvard Center for International Affairs.
Book Synopsis Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec by : Antoine Brousseau Desaulniers
Download or read book Contemporary Federalist Thought in Quebec written by Antoine Brousseau Desaulniers and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-06-15 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis National Manhood and the Creation of Modern Quebec by : Jeffery Vacante
Download or read book National Manhood and the Creation of Modern Quebec written by Jeffery Vacante and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intellectual history explores how the idea of manhood shaped French Canadian culture and Quebec’s nationalist movement. During the latter half of the nineteenth century, Quebec was an agrarian society, and masculinity was rooted in the land and the family and informed by Catholic principles of piety and self-restraint. As the industrial era took hold, a new model was forged, built on the values of secularism and individualism. Jeffery Vacante’s perceptive analysis reveals how French Canadian intellectuals defined masculinity in response to imperialist English Canadian ideals. This “national manhood” would be disentangled from the workplace, the family, and the land and tied instead to one’s cultural identity. The new formulation was crucial in the larger struggle to modernize Quebec’s institutions while preserving French Canadian community, faith, and culture. It offered French Canadian men a way to remodel themselves, participate in industrial modernity, and still assert cultural authority.

Download or read book Everyday Sacred written by Hillary Kaell and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade there has been ongoing discussion about the place of religion in Québécois society, particularly following the proposed Charter of Quebec Values in 2013. The essays in Everyday Sacred emerged from this active and often tense period of debate. Revitalizing an awareness of how people encounter, create, and employ religion in everyday life, contributors to this volume explore communities’ networks of beliefs, traditions, and relationships. Through broad comparisons beyond the Quebec context, contributors look at African Pentecostal congregations, an Iraqi Jewish community in Montreal, a rural Catholic parish on the Saint Lawrence River, and Tewehikan drumming in Wemotaci. They also examine wayside crosses, places of pilgrimage and devotion, debates on the regulation of the hijab, and the place of Montreal Spiritualists and transhumanists in the religious landscape. Seeking a holistic definition of Québécois religion, Everyday Sacred considers religious and secular identity, pluralism, the bodily and material aspects of religion, the impact of gender on community and the public sphere, and the rise of hybridity, sociality, and new technologies in transnational and online networks, in order to uncover the transmission of practices and beliefs from one generation to another. Disrupting familiar dichotomies between Catholicism and other religions, “founders” and immigrants, new religious movements and traditional institutions, Everyday Sacred marks the beginning of a sustained conversation on contemporary religion in Quebec, both inside and outside of the province. Contributors include: Emma Anderson (University of Ottawa), Randall Balmer (Dartmouth College), Hélène Charron (Université Laval), Elysia Guzik (University of Toronto), Laurent Jérôme (Université du Québec à Montréal), Norma B. Joseph (Concordia University), Cory Andrew Labrecque (Université Laval), Deirdre Meintel (Université de Montréal), Géraldine Mossière (Université de Montréal), Frédéric Parent (Université de Québec à Montréal), Meena Sharify-Funk (Wilfrid Laurier University).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an in-depth study of the language policies present in the Canadian province of Quebec, and considers them from a comparative perspective, with special focus on Singapore and Wales. In so doing, it uses a mix of methods to look at the effects of language planning on language use: questionnaires, linguistic landscapes (visible language in public space), ethnography, and psycholinguistic experiments. Besides offering background information on Canada and Quebec, the comparative element uses data from Singapore and Wales to shine a new light on how language is managed in Quebec.

Book excerpt: 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 ‘backgronds’ 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.

Book Synopsis Quebec Nationalism in Crisis by : Dominique Clift
Download or read book Quebec Nationalism in Crisis written by Dominique Clift and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1982 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in French in 1981 under the title Le declin du nationalisme au Québec, this classic has received considerable critical acclaim. Graham Fraser of the Montreal Gazette wrote, "a suberb book: provocative, ironic, stimulating, and analytical, with a sharp eye for the social meaning of public events. Clift covered Quebec politics as a daily journalist for almost 25 years. He has succeeded in sweeping across events he covered to reduce them to their most substantial conflict." Dominique Clift's perceptive analysis traces two antagonistic trends in recent Quebec history: the growth of nationalism, which reached its high point with the election of René Lévesque in 1967, and the development of individualism at the expense of group solidarity.
