Focused as it is on the faring of freedom throughout the liberation era, this book also explores attempts made by rights movements to achieve the often competitive or cross-canceling American ideal of equality-economic, professional, and otherwise. Although many struggled and died for it in the civil rights era, freedoms such as the vote, integrated bus rides, sex without consequences via the Pill, are ultimately free-costing officialdom little if anything to fully implement-while equality with respect to jobs, salaries, education, housing, and health care, will forever be the much more expensive nut to crack. Freedoms Ring regards the politics of freedom, and politics in general, as a low-cost substitute for and engrossing distraction from substantive economic problem-solving from the liberation era to the present day"--

Au Canada, les débats politiques et identitaires se sont, jusqu'à tout récemment, construits dans l'espace, certes conflictuel, mais relativement clos sur lui-même du fédéralisme canadien, alors que nous constatons maintenant l'influence grandissante de ces déterminations « externes », impulsées par une dynamique qui transcende les espaces nationaux. Nous abordons, plus spécifiquement, la mondialisation, le passage au néolibéralisme, le renouveau du débat sur le droit et la démocratie et le multiculturalisme. Nous avançons l'hypothèse selon laquelle ces nouveaux paramètres viennent modifier les argumentaires politiques en présence et infléchissent de la sorte l'analyse de la question nationale québécoise.
