Explores how the Francophone and Anglophone communities in Quebec have responded to the shift in power between them as a state- based nationalism has become established over the past quarter century. Laczko (sociology, U. of Ottawa) draws on public opinion survey data and theoretical literature dealing with language, ethnicity, nationalism, and social change to examine the restructuring of relations between the two communities, the acceptance by English-speakers of their minority status, and the behavior of French-speakers as the new socially and politically dominant group. Compares Quebec to other places where such shifts rarely occur without violence. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

If you think that slavery was inevitable, that British commanders were lazy nincompoops, or that Indigenous warriors were nothing more than British pawns, you will savor the challenge of Seven Myths of the American Revolution just as much as I did.” —Woody Holton, University of South Carolina, author of Liberty Is Sweet: The Hidden History of the American Revolution (Simon & Schuster, 2021)
