History of Contemporary Quebec

This course will enable the student to understand the factors of change and continuity that have determined the structure of Quebec society. Topics to be analysed include the evolution of Quebec from 1867 to the present day on many levels: political (the federal union and Quebec's place in that union, the construction of Quebecers' identity and the growth of provincial autonomy), economic (growth and development in the nineteenth and twentieth century, nationalization), socio-cultural (immigration, cultural diversity, changing lifestyles, artistic and intellectual movements).
