Catholic Origins of Quebec's Quiet Revolution, 1931-1970
The Catholic Origins of Quebec's Quiet Revolution challenges a versionof history central to modern Quebec's understanding of itself: that theQuiet Revolution began in the 1960s as a secular vision of state andsociety which rapidly displaced an obsolete, clericalized Catholicism.Michael Gauvreau argues that organizations such as Catholic youthmovements played a central role in formulating the Personalist Catholicideology that underlay the Quiet Revolution and that ordinaryQuebecers experienced the Quiet Revolution primarily through a seriesof transformations in the expression of their Catholic identity. In sodoing Gauvreau offers a new understanding of Catholicism's place intwentieth-century Quebec.
Race under Reconstruction in German Cinema
Race Under Reconstruction in German Cinema investigates postwar racial formations via a pivotal West German film by one of the most popular and prolific directors of the era.

Death in October
First published in 1996 immediately following the narrow referendum victory by the Quebec Federalists, Death in October has become a Canadian classic. Out of print for many years, the book has become a collector's item, new copies selling in some quarters for well over $100!

In fact, writes Lowell, the premise of the plot line in this book is even more probably today that it was in 1996. Most agree that Canadians today are far less sympathetic to Quebec's demands today than ever before.
Lords of the North
I, Rufus Gillespie, trader and clerk for the North-West Company, which ruled over an empire broader than Europe in the beginning of this century, and with Indian allies and its own riotous Bois-Brulés, carried war into the very heart of the vast territory claimed by its rivals, the Honorable Hudson’s Bay Company, have briefly related a few stirring events of those boisterous days. Should the account here set down be questioned, I appeal for confirmation to that missionary among northern tribes, the famous priest, who is the son of the ill-fated girl stolen by the wandering Iroquois. Lord Selkirk’s narration of lawless conflict with the Nor’-Westers and the verbal testimony of Red Rive...
