"What is Quebec's relationship with the rest of Canada? Is there a distinct Quebecois culture? What is Quebec's place on the international stage? These are questions editors Stéphan Gervais, Christopher Kirkey, and Jarrett Rudy continue to ask in the second edition of Quebec Questions: Quebec Studies for the Twenty-First Century. Bringing together expert contributors, the text examines the province through historical, social, cultural, political, and economic perspectives. Building on the strength of the previous edition, new chapters discuss the law and legal traditions, visual arts and sport in Quebec, and Quebecois perspectives on federalism and sovereignty. An expansive pedagogical program--including thoughtful introductions, timelines, biographies, case studies, primary source documents, critical thinking questions, and a new glossary--makes this a thoughtful, engaging, and passionate exploration of la belle province."--

"Over the last decade there has been ongoing public discussion about religion in Quebecois society, which flared up again following the proposed Charter of Quebec Values in 2014. Everyday Sacred emerged during this active and sometimes tense period of debate. Each of its chapters provides a textured, localized study that is attentive to complexity and multivocality-both in terms of people's experiences of religion and more broadly with regard to conventional categories in the study of religion. Major themes across the chapters include: the dynamics of intergenerational transmission and institutionalism; the intersection of religion/secularism with claims of a 'distinctive' identity; the bodily and material aspects of religion; the impact of gender on internal community dynamics and debates in the public sphere; and the rise of more flexible religious hybridity and sociality that emphasize new technologies in transnational or online networks. Through these themes, contributors define religion more holistically, troubling familiar dichotomies between Catholics and the rest, "founding" and immigrant religions, "New Religious Movements" and traditional institutions. As the first English-language volume devoted to examining religion in contemporary Quebec, Everyday Sacred marks the beginning of a more sustained conversation between scholars of contemporary religion, inside and outside la belle province."--

No province in Canada has codified a written constitution. A Written Constitution for Québec? enters into the debate of whether Quebec should be the first. Taking a doctrinal, historical, theoretical and comparative approach, and addressing the issue from a variety of perspectives, this volume is a vital resource in navigating Quebec's constitutional future in Canada.

Accommodating ethnic diversity is a major challenge for all democratic nations and a topic that has attracted a great deal of attention in the last few decades. Within Quebec, a new approach has emerged that seeks a balance between the needs of minorities and those of the majority. In Interculturalism, sociologist and historian Gérard Bouchard presents his vision of interculturalism as a model for the management of diversity. A pluralist approach which recognizes the existence of a cultural majority whose rights must also be acknowledged, interculturalism constitutes an important alternative to multiculturalism both in Canada and internationally. Written by one of Quebec's leading public intellectuals and the co-chair of the Bouchard-Taylor Commission on reasonable accommodation, Interculturalism is the first clear and comprehensive statement in English of an approach being discussed around the world. A translation of Bouchard's award-winning French-language work, L'Interculturalisme: Un point de vue québécois, this book features a new foreword by philosopher Charles Taylor and an afterword by the author written specifically for the English-language edition. -- Provided by publisher

Secession and Self goes beyond debates over the economic and institutional effects of Quebec separation to look at the normative dimensions of resistance to secession. Drawing from Charles Taylor, James Tully, and many others, Gregory Millard explores the central role Quebec plays in ideas of what makes Canada worthwhile. He argues that a break with Quebec would impair Canada's ability to realize ideals such as liberalism, fraternity, and developmental accounts of citizenship and would undercut attempts to locate Canadian identity in narratives of history and place. In lieu of a single argument against the departure of Quebec, Millard considers the variety and richness of the affirmations involved in Quebec-in-Canada as a particular kind of multinational state. Taking into account the many efforts to grapple with one of the deepest challenges in Canadian history, Secession and Self provides an insightful account of the variegated ties between Canada, Quebec, and visions of the good.

In Quebec Identity Jocelyn Maclure provides a critical reflection on the ways in which Quebec's identity has been articulated since the 1960s' Quiet Revolution. He shows how neither the melancholic nationalism of the Montreal school, Hubert Aquin, Pierre Vallières, Fernand Dumont and their followers, nor the individualist antinationalism of Pierre Trudeau and his followers provide identity stories and political projects adequate for contemporary Quebec.

"In Federalism, Citizenship, and Quebec, Alain-G. Gagnon and Raffaele Iacovino argue that multinationalism has been and continues to be the fundamental sociopolitical characteristic of the Canadian polity, and that it should guide and structure the negotiating principles and political processes upon which the institutions of federalism and citizenship are constructed."--Jacket
