"Ramsay Cook is one of Canada's most perceptive and lucid historians. The classic essays in this volume, written over the last forty years, analyse social and cultural change among French-speaking Canadians and its effects on the evolution of nationalism in Quebec." "Evolving from a passionate desire to survive as a distinct culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth century to a more confident and expansive ideology since World War II, nationalism in Quebec has provoked intense debates within the province and in the rest of Canada over language, provincial powers, and the very meaning of the term "nation" in the contemporary world. In essays that address both historical and contemporary issues, Watching Quebec examines the ideas of francophone individuals and groups, looks at their institutions and movements, and clarifies the complex relationship between French- and English-speaking Canadians.
