| Title |
Migration and Ethnic Nationalism: Anglophone Exit and the 'Decolonisation' of Québec
|
| Abstract |
The author explains the effects of ethnic nationalism on Anglophone and Francophone migration from Quebec. He points out that the rise of Quebec ethnic nationalism in the 1960s dismantled the cultural division of labour, which created new opportunities for Francophones but threatened Anglophones’ traditional dominance over the Quebec economy. This had negative consequences for Anglophones but positive outcomes for Francophones, which in turn accounts for differences in migration patterns. The author draws from the internal colony model as well as migration and exit-voice theories, and using ecological census data, micro-census data and election panel data, he finds that the key variables that increase the likelihood of Anglophone out-migration either do not explain Francophone out-migration or have opposite effects. This is because ethno-nationalist policies decreased the economic return particularly for well-educated, higher earning, professional Anglophones in Quebec, while increasing the economic position of Francophones and in particular well-educated professionals.
