Community Besieged de Stevenson, Garth - 1999

Montreal, QC: McGill-Queen's University Press, 1999. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Tight, unmarked; two small stains to inside edge; otherwise very minimal wear; Until the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s Quebec anglophones seldom though of themselves as a minority. But over the last generation their situation has been totally transformed. New political issues - language policy, educational reform, sovereignty, and the constitution - undermined the old system of elite accommodation in Quebec, causing conflicts between anglophones and francophones and creating a new sense of minority identity. While many anglophones has responded by migrating to other provinces, most have stayed and have tried to adapt. Based in part on interviews, Community Besieged is a comprehensive and up-to-date description of the political life of this unique minority.

"In Community Besieged Garth Stevenson describes the unusual circumstances that allowed English-speaking Quebecers to live in virtual isolation from their francophone neighbours for almost a century after Confederation. He describes their relations with Maurice Duplessis and the Union Nationale and their ambivalent response to the Quiet Revolution. With the rise of the sovereignty movement, anglophone interests diverged from the mainstream. Stevenson examines how these changes altered anglophone relations with the major political parties as well as the role of newer entities such as Alliance Quebec and the Equality Party. He concludes with a look at the future of anglophones in Quebec.".
