The Colonized Strike Back: Quebec, 1960–72
New!
From: Capitalism, Colonialism, and Crises
$1.30
This chapter explores how in the early 1960s Quebec sovereignists reframed francophone economic subordination as internal colonialism. Worker exploitation and separatist sentiment together with small group violence triggered the 1970 October Crisis, prompting state repression from the federal government, and how that event impacted Quebec nationalism as a movement.
