Title
Resources on English-Speaking Quebec: A Field Map
Abstract
The authors ask: What characterizes publications and other resources on the scholarly field of English-speaking Quebec as a Canadian official language minority community? To answer this question, they conducted a mapping review of 14,400+ resources listed in Brendan O’Donnell’s online Bibliography on English-Speaking Quebec (quescren.concordia.ca). They found that the publication rate listed in the bibliography peaked in the 1990s, with a predominant focus on history and the Montreal area. Additionally, these resources primarily cover individuals with origins in the Jewish diaspora, Britain, Ireland, and the United States, addressing topics such as arts, culture, and the media; sociology/anthropology; and politics/government. Relatively few resources focus on English-speaking Quebec as a province-wide collectivity or on federal language legislation. The authors conclude that the English-speaking Quebec field is diversified, but patchy, and does not appear to be a priority for Quebec’s research institutions.
