Québec and Radical Social Change

Edited by Dimitrios Roussopoulos

Many of Quebec’s outstanding social critics have essays in this collection. The essays have been written over the last few years, some translated from the French, others originally written in English. Most of the articles appeared in the radical quarterly journal OUR GENERATION, which has contributed greatly to informing people outside Québec on its social development. The articles includes historical analysis, class analysis, the student and youth movement, the labour and trade union movement, poetry, assessment of key elections, nationalism and social policy. The book is a valuable resource.

Perceptive essays on radical movements and manifestations in Québec politics by Québécois analysts.

The contributors include: Mario Dumais, B. Roy Lemoine, Pierre Guimond, Evelyn Dumas, Henry Milner, Arnold Bennett, Adèle Lauzon, Robert Favreau, Hélène David and Louis Maheu.
