Language, Citizenship and Identity in Quebec

Globalization is calling for new conceptualizations of belonging within culturally diverse communities.

This book takes Quebec as a case study and examines how it fosters a sense of belonging through a common citizenship with French as the key element.

As a nation without a state, Quebec is driven by two distinct imperatives: the need to affirm a robust Francophone identity within Anglophone North America, and the civic obligation to accommodate an increasingly diverse range of migrant groups, as well as demands for recognition by Aboriginal and Anglophone minorities.
