A burgeoning new branch of Hispanic literature, Latino-Canadian writing is now becoming part of the Canadian and Quebec literary traditions. Latinocanadá, a critical anthology, examines the work of Hispanic writers who have settled in Canada over the past thirty years and includes newly translated selections of their work.
In the last few decades Canadian and Québécois literatures have been catapulted onto the global stage, gaining international readership and recognition. Canada and Its Americas challenges the convention that study of this literature should be limited to its place within national borders, arguing that these works should be examined from the perspective of their place and influence within the Americas as a whole. The essays in this volume, a groundbreaking work in the burgeoning field of hemispheric American studies, expand the horizons of Canadian and Québécois literatures, suggest alternative approaches to models centred on the United States, and analyse the risks and benefits of hemispheric approaches to Canada and Quebec. Revealing the connections among a broad range of Canadian, Québécois, American, Caribbean, Latin American, and diasporic literatures, the contributors critique the neglect of Canadian works in Hemispheric studies and show how such writing can be successfully integrated into an emerging area of literary inquiry.
Catalogue of the exhibition held at the Musee du Quebec, Oct. 10, 2002-Jan. 5, 2003 and at the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), Jan. 24- May 11, 2003.

Jackson fought many battles: he was a feisty and opinionated combatant when he crossed swords with critics, collectors, museums, galleries, and fellow painters as an emerging artist. Moving from Montreal to Toronto in 1913, he became a key figure in a landscape movement that was determined to depict Canada in a bold new way, only to have a war dash the group's collective ambitions.

Abondamment illustrée, cette étude publiée à l'occasion de l'exposition organisée par le Musée national des beaux-arts de Québec insiste sur deux facettes du travail d'illustrateur d'E.-J. Massicotte, lesquelles correspondent à deux étapes de sa vie : la période avant-gardiste, marquée par le symbolisme, de sa jeunesse; l'oeuvre nourrie de folklore et d'ethnographie de la maturité.
