Conflict in Cities and the Struggle for Modernity. Toward an Understanding of the Spatiality of the October Crisis
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that by the 1960s, two visions of a modern Quebec began to emerge that clashed throughout the decade, culminating in what has become known as Canada’s most significant encounter with terrorism: the October Crisis. While the newly elected Liberal government pushed forward with social and economic reforms during this period, the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) emerged with a different vision for Quebec characterized by independence and socialism. The author views English Quebecers as “imperialists,” the “wealthy elite,” the “Anglophone upper-class,” the Anglophone “other,” Anglophone capitalists controlling Anglophone hegemony, and the wealthy Anglophones from the west side of the city of Montreal.
