A discussion with Canadian politicians, journalists, and academics who relate personal accounts and informed opinions about the the uneasy relationship between Canada and Quebec. Through these interviews, Bothwell (history, U. of Toronto) gathers historical insights into the development of Canadian history, Quebec's "Quiet Revolution", the politics of language, Meech Lake, and the future of the constitutional issues which divide the country. Jean Chretien, Lise Bissonnette, Graham Fraser, and Michael Bliss are just some of the notable minds the author picks for this extremely coherent analysis of Quebec/Canadian disputes.
