Collecting the works of historians, political scientists, sociologists, experts in aboriginal studies and women's studies, chapters consider issues ranging from language policies, to progressive changes in gender roles and norms, and intense debates surrounding issues of nationalism and identity. Providing a remarkably clear and engaging overview of the major themes, issues, and events of Quebec history, culture, and politics, Contemporary Quebec is an invaluable resource for history and Canadian Studies courses, and an ideal introduction for anyone wanting to better understand this dynamic province.
