Quebec: Which Minority?
In: Dissent: a journal devoted to radical ideas and the values of socialism and democracy, Band 43, S. 43-46
Abstract
Everyday politics in Quebec is the politics of minorities, since every individual in the province belongs to at least one minority group, ie, linguistic, geographic, or political. How minority rights are claimed depends on the concrete political situation & the particular identity being privileged by claimants, as this discussion of the impact of recent referendum votes, language policy, & other social institutions on both the process of democratic decision making & the issue of cultural identity reveals. The relationship between legitimate claims for protection of minority rights & political strategies for achieving them is also considered. M. Maguire
