Community Besieged: The Anglophone Minority and the Politics of Quebec - Stevenson, Garth

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.
