The Infantilization of Quebec
The Myth of Unity
From: National Dreams
$1.96
The author presents the opposing view points on the Battle of Quebec. For generations, while Quebec historians characterized the Battle of Quebec as a catastrophe, English-Canadian historians described it as a liberation and not a defeat at all. The infantilization of the Québécois by English Canadians went far beyond the pages of schoolbooks; it coloured all English impressions of Quebecois culture for generations.
