A travers les frontieres: Quebec and Quebec Studies

Abstract

Since the onset of la Revolution Tranquille more than 25 years ago, the province of Quebec has established an ever-increasing international presence, alone and in cooperation with the Canadian federal government. Provincial authorities, with assertiveness and confidence, have worked to establish the province as the heartland of the French in North America and also to present the Quebecois as representing a distinctive society. This study briefly traces the evolution of the Quebecois' adventurous nature and examines the various ways in which the province functions beyond its frontiers, especially within the academic milieu.
