| Summary: | "A mesmerizing blend of memoir and political analysis from renowned journalist Francine Pelletier. From her front-row seat at the province's political and cultural transformation, Francine Pelletier offers a deeply personal reflection on how Quebec shifted over the last fifty years from the inclusive civic nationalism championed by Reň Ľvesque to the more restrictive, intolerant identity-focused nationalism of Premier Fraṅois Legault. Building on themes from her acclaimed documentary Battle for Qǔbec's Soul, Pelletier explores how Quebec's progressive ideals have given way to a more conservative ethos, often cloaked in the defense of "Quebec values." This book exposes what she calls the Quiet Revolution syndrome--a collective denial of unwelcome regressions in Quebec's politics and identity. With sharp analysis and intimate storytelling, Pelletier invites readers to rethink what it means to be a "good Quebecer" in an era of re-emerging ethnic nationalism."-- |
