From: The History of Montréal
$1.40
This chapter covers important developments during the 60s in Montreal, including in the realms of language, culture, politics, and gender rights. The Swinging Sixties were a particularly lively time in Montreal, with the excitement of the Quiet Revolution and the most modern of makeovers for the city, as well as Expo 67.The chapter explores these developments, as well as traces the “reconquest of Montreal” fuelled by the Quiet Revolution and by a new Quebec nationalism that questioned the power wielded by an English Canadian minority over many facets of life in Quebec.
