Title
Towards Developing an “Anglo-Québécois” Information Resource Book for School History Teachers in Quebec : Thoughts from a Qualitative Study
Abstract
Based on a qualitative study that examines Franco-Québécois teachers’ historical consciousness of Quebec Anglophones, the author argues in favour of the need for developing an “Anglo-Québécois” information resource book for school history teachers. The justification for the resource book stems from the manner in which respondents structure group boundaries when remembering Anglophones, focus attention on them if mandated to develop a new history programme, and access information and resources about their experiences. The author notes that given the prevalence of antagonistic historical memories, which reinforce stereotypical images, such a resource book could open up possibilities for change, while respecting traditional means of remembering and of making sense of Quebec’s English-speaking minority.
