A mesmerizing blend of memoir and political analysis from renowned journalist Francine Pelletier.
From her front-row seat at the province's political and cultural transformation, Francine Pelletier offers a deeply personal reflection on how Quebec shifted over the last fifty years from the inclusive civic nationalism championed by René Lévesque to the more restrictive, intolerant identity-focused nationalism of Premier François Legault.
Building on themes from her acclaimed documentary Battle for Québec's Soul, Pelletier explores how Quebec's progressive ideals have given way to a more conservative ethos, often cloaked in the defense of "Quebec values." This book exposes what she calls the Quiet Revolution syndrome--a collective denial of unwelcome regressions in Quebec's politics and identity.
With sharp analysis and intimate storytelling, Pelletier invites readers to rethink what it means to be a "good Quebecer" in an era of re-emerging ethnic nationalism.
Francine Pelletier is a journalist based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She is the co-founder of a feminist newspaper, La Vie en rose, and has written for La Presse, Le Devoir, and the Montreal Gazette.
