Provides a reflection on the ways in which Quebec's identity has been articulated since the 1960s' Quiet Revolution. This book shows how neither the melancholic nationalism of the Montreal school, nor the individualist antinationalism of Pierre Trudeau provides identity stories and political projects adequate for contemporary Quebec.This hermeneutically and theoretically rich work opens new, potentially fertile, avenues of investigation and dialogue. It is an immensely valuable contribution to our national reconstitution. Charles Taylor, from the Preface.
Maclure's book is one of the leading statements of a new generation of Quebec's young public intellectuals and has been a major site of discussion and debate in Quebec since its publication. There is no other text that brings English-reading Canadian scholars, students and concerned citizens up to date on the way the debate on citizenship, nationalism, and identity is rapidly changing in Quebec.
