A Short History of Quebec

By Dr. Edward Whitcomb

A Short History of Quebec provides the reader with a quick but accurate survey of the broad outline of the province's development.  The emphasis in this book is on the political developments that shaped the province as it is today, subjects such as Aboriginals, immigration, and settlement, New France, and the British conquest, the challenge of economic diversification and development, and the attainment of responsible government  and confederation. It explains the problems caused by Word War I and II and the Depression, post-war battles with Ottawa for control of Quebec's constitutional responsibilities, the decline of the Church and the rise of nationalism, the language debate, separation, and the overall theme of survival.
