A People’s History of Quebec
This lively guide to Quebec history tells the fascinating story of the settlement of the St. Lawrence River Valley over nearly 500 years. But it also tells of the Montreal and Quebec-based explorers and traders who travelled, mapped, and inhabited most of North America, and embrothered the peoples they met.
Combining vast research and great story telling, Jacques Lacoursière and Robin Philpot connect everyday life to the events that emerged as historical turning points in the life of a people. They thus shed new light on Quebec’s 450-year history—and the historical forces that lie behind its two recent efforts to gain independence.
This title has been translated into English by Robin Philpot.
