Le regard de l'autre : la naissance du nationalisme au Quebec ; essai
|
| Abstract |
The author argues that French Quebec nationalism evolved in reaction to the nationalism of Montreal's nineteenth-century Anglo-Protestant merchant elite, especially those of Scottish ethnic background. Examining articles in Le Canadien newspaper between 1806 and 1842, the author concludes that French Quebecers of this period did not see themselves as a people or a nation. It was the Anglo-Scottish merchants who first saw in the "Canadien" population a distinct race, an agrarian and inferior people, embodying a forgotten and immutable piece of seventeen-century France. In reaction to this Anglo-Scottish view, such mid-nineteenth century French Quebec writers as Benjamin Viger, Étienne Parent and François-Xavier Garneau ended up postulating the idea that their group formed a French, Catholic and rural society, with a purely provincial existence, separated from an expanding British society destined for commerce and industry.
