Récoltes des forêts publiques au Québec et en Ontario, 1840-1900
Focusing on the transition from the production of squared timber to that of milled lumber and, finally, wood pulp, Gaudreau traces the constant depletion of the resource and the companies' resulting, inexorable push westward from Quebec into Ontario - an economic migration that led to the establishment of significant francophone communities across northern Ontario. He shows how recent generations of Quebec historians have failed to provide adequate historical explanations because of an overly exclusive focus on Quebec. Gaudreau's work provides an important historiographic corrective, showing that the history of Quebec is part of a complex fabric that, like the forests themselves, does not re...

Making Do

La vie littéraire au Québec
Avec l’arrivée au pouvoir à Ottawa des libéraux de Wilfrid Laurier en 1896 s’ouvrent pour le Canada des années de prospérité économique et de croissance démographique mais aussi d’acerbes conflits politiques qui marqueront tout le pays. Au Québec, les mouvements d’industrialisation et d’urbanisation s’accélèrent, non sans résistance.

La concentration de la presse durant ces années y attire de plus en plus les activités littéraires, alors que l’Université La...

The Other Quebec
The Other Quebec explores some of the complex ways that religious institutions and beliefs affected the rural societies in which the majority of Canadians still lived in the nineteenth century.
Accounting for Culture
Many scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers in the cultural sector argue that Canadian cultural policy is at a crossroads: that the environment for cultural policy-making has evolved substantially and that traditional rationales for state intervention no longer apply. The concept of cultural citizenship is a relative newcomer to the cultural policy landscape, and offers a potentially compelling alternative rationale for government intervention in the cultural sector. Likewise, the articulation and use of cultural indicators and of governance concepts are also new arrivals, emerging as potentially powerful tools for policy and program development. Accounting for Culture is a unique collection of essays from leading Canadian and international scholars that critically examines cultural citizenship, cultural indicators, and governance in the context of evolving cultural practices and cultural policy-making. It will be of great interest to scholars of cultural policy, communications, cultural studies, and public administration alike.
