Title
Textualizing the Immigrant Experience in Contemporary Quebec
Abstract
Considered by the publisher as the first comprehensive study in English of the post-war literature of immigration in Quebec. The book’s essays examine the literary representation of immigration as it relates to those who have moved to Quebec from such areas as the Caribbean, the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia. Through this focus on immigration, the essays raise a series of questions related to gender, cultural pluralism, identity politics, and narrative forms. One of the key objectives of the book is to consider the ways in which the literary texts portray the concept of immigrant culture and shape debates about Quebec's national and cultural identity. The book’s essays explore how these texts re-imagine and redefine problematic issues related to the immigrant experience.
