Jouer pour Gagner
Pierre Péladeau a consacré une journée entière au journaliste Pierre Maisonneuve pour répondre à toutes ses questions sur sa vie, ses motivations, sa carrière.
Vigneault
Certaines chansons de Gilles Vigneault témoignent d'une quête spirituelle profonde. Intrigué, le journaliste Pierre Maisonneuve l'a rencontré pendant plusieurs heures afin de comprendre comment ce dernier avait, dans la tourmente du dernier demi-siècle, gardé en lui la foi héritée de ceux et celles qui l'ont précédé. En résulte un dialogue surprenant, dans lequel le grand poète nous révèle avec franchise et pudeur le pays intérieur qui l'habite. Fidèle à ceux qui l'ont précédé, à ceux qui l'ont instruit, Vigneault ne renie rien de son passé, il assume son présent et anticipe son avenir. Il décrit et nous dévoile les principales étapes de son existence : vie simple à Natashquan, univers culturel exceptionnel de son alma mater à Rimouski, découverte de Québec et ensuite du monde. Il conserve intactes des valeurs acquises aux jours de la grande noirceur, comme on a baptisé l'avant-Révolution tranquille québécoise. Gilles Vigneault poursuit sa longue marche sur les chemins de pied tracés par les anciens.
Revolutionary Warfare
Revolutionary Warfare investigates how efforts to counter a revolution could also be revolutionary. The Algerian War fractured the French Empire, destroyed the legitimacy of colonial rule, and helped launch the Third Worldist movement for the liberation of the Global South. By tracing how French generals, officers, and civil officials sought to counter Algerian independence with their own project of radical social transformation, Terrence G. Peterson reveals that the conflict also helped to transform the nature of modern warfare. The French war effort was never defined solely by repression. As Peterson details, it also sought to fashion new forms of surveillance and social control that could...
The Spaceframe Moultons

Romancing the Maya
During Mexico's first century of independence, European and American explorers rediscovered its pre-Hispanic past. Finding the jungle-covered ruins of lost cities and artifacts inscribed with unintelligible hieroglyphs—and having no idea of the age, authorship, or purpose of these antiquities—amateur archaeologists, artists, photographers, and religious writers set about claiming Mexico's pre-Hispanic patrimony as a rightful part of the United States' cultural heritage. In this insightful work, Tripp Evans explores why nineteenth-century Americans felt entitled to appropriate Mexico's cultural heritage as the United States' own. He focuses in particular on five well-known figures—Ameri...
Dictionary of French Family Names in North America
This dictionary contains data not only on the origins of French surnames in Québec and Acadia, a great many of which eventually spread to many parts of North America, but also on those which arrived in the United States directly from various French-speaking European and Caribbean countries. In addition to providing the etymology of the original surnames, it also lists the multifarious variants that have developed over the last four centuries. A unique feature of this work in comparison to other onomastics dictionaries is the inclusion of genealogical information on most of the Francophone migrants to this continent, something which has been rendered possible not only by the excellent record-keeping in French Canada since the very beginnings of the colony, but also through the explosion of such data on the internet in the last couple of decades. In sum, this dictionary serves the dual purpose of providing information on the meanings of French family names on the North American continent, as well as on the migrants who brought them there.
