Evolving from a passionate desire to simply survive as a distinctive culture in the nineteenth and early twentieth century to a more confident and expansive ideology since the Second World War, nationalism in Quebec has provoked intense debates within the province and in the rest of Canada over language, provincial powers, and the very meaning of the term nation in the contemporary world. Watching Quebec examines the ideas of francophone individuals and groups, looks at their institutions and movements, and clarifies the complex relationship between French- and English-speaking Canadians.

Jacques Cartier's voyages of 1534, 1535, and 1541constitute the first record of European impressions of the St Lawrence region of northeastern North American and its peoples. The Voyages are rich in details about almost every aspect of the region's environment and the people who inhabited it.As Ramsay Cook points out in his introduction, Cartier was more than an explorer; he was also Canada's first ethnographer. His accounts provide a wealth of information about the native people of the region and their relations with each other. Indirectly, he also reveals much about himself and about sixteenth-century European attitudes and beliefs. These memoirs recount not only the French experience with the Iroquois, but alo the Iroquois' discovery of the French.In addition to Cartier's Voyages, a slightly amended version of H.P. Biggar's 1924 text, the volume includes a series of letters relating to Cartier and the Sieur de Roberval, who was in command of cartier on the last voyage. Many of these letters appear for the first time in English.Ramsay Cook's introduction, 'Donnacona Discovers Europe, ' rereads the documents in the light of recent scholarship as well as from contemporary perspectives in order to understand better the viewpoints of Cartier and the native people with whom he came into contact.

"A crisis of faith confronted many Canadian Protestants in the late nineteenth century. With their religious beliefs challenged by the new biological sciences and historical criticism of the Bible, they turned from personal salvation to the dire social problems of the industrial age. The Regenerators explores the nature of social criticism in this era and its complex ties to the religious thinking of the day, showing how the path blazed by nineteenth-century religious liberals led not to the Kingdom of God on earth, but, ironically, to the secular city."-- "The winner of the Governor General's Literary Award for Non-Fiction when it was first published in 1985, The Regenerators became an instant classic for its fascinating portraits of evolutionists, rationalists, spiritualists, socialists, and free thinkers before the turn of the century. This new edition features an introduction by historian and biographer Donald Wright."--

La publication de recueils à l’occasion des anniversaires de la fédération canadienne est une tradition. En 1917, et de nouveau en 1967, des chercheurs ont publié des ouvrages sur la formation de la fédération canadienne et ses perspectives d’avenir. Ces recueils ont toutefois été publiés en anglais ou en français. À l’occasion du 150e anniversaire de la fédération canadienne, des chercheurs des Universités de Toronto et de York ont réuni les meilleurs articles et chapitres de livres portant sur la Confédération rédigés dans l’une ou l’autre des langues officielles. Vingt-neuf articles ont été traduits en anglais ou en français pour la première fois. De plus, ce recueil a élargi les horizons des débats portant sur 1867 en incluant des textes sur les autochtones. Alors que le pays chemine vers 2067, les Canadiens doivent comprendre et défier les discours traditionnels qui ont influencé la trame narrative du pays. Ce recueil interdisciplinaire en deux tomes, publié intégralement en français et en anglais, est un pas dans cette direction.
