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 556 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 Canadaóthose 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 QuebeÁois 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.

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.

Download or read book Violence and the Female Imagination written by Paula Ruth Gilbert and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2006-03-31 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past twenty years Quebec women writers, including Aline Chamberland, Claire Dé, Suzanne Jacob, and Hélène Rioux, have created female characters who are fascinated with bold sexual actions and language, cruelty, and violence, at times culminating in infanticide and serial killing. Paula Ruth Gilbert argues that these Quebec feminist writers are "re-framing" gender. Violence and the Female Imagination explores whether these imagined women are striking out at an external other or harming themselves through acts of self-destruction and depression. Gilbert examines the degree to which women are imitating men in the outward direction of their anger and hostility and suggests that such "tough" women may be mocking men in their "macho" exploits of sexuality and violence. She illustrates the ways in which Quebec female authors are "feminizing" violence or re-envisioning gender in North American culture. Gilbert bridges methodological gaps and integrates history, sociology, literary theory, feminist theory, and other disciplinary approaches to provide a framework for the discussion of important ethical and aesthetic questions.
