Is this who we are ? : 14 questions about Quebec
By: Dubuc, Alain.
Publisher: Canada Ronsdale Press 2016Description: 252p.ISBN: 9781553804673.Subject(s): Social conditions -- Québec (Province) -- 21st century -- CivilizationDDC classification: 306.09714 Summary: This translation into English of Alain Dubuc's best-seller, Portrait de Famille, questions our national identity if there is one, and how it may be more in flux than ever before. The Rest of Canada sees Quebec in a number of ways, while the Quebecois see themselves in still others, in a set of supposedly homemade myths. Dubuc asks and analyzes to what extent these myths are true, false or a mix of both. How does Quebec really stack up culturally, economically and educationally? Often the answers come as a complete surprise and lead us in unexpected directions. Many of the hard facts and statistics gathered are eye-opening for us all. Certainly, La Presse's editorial writer Alain Dubuc knows how to puncture a balloon with the best of them, a much-needed skill these days.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
