| Title |
Being English in a French Québec: On the Denial of Culture and History in a Neo-Liberal State
|
| Abstract |
The author argues that neo-liberal ideology, increasingly adopted by both French-speaking and English-speaking communities in Quebec, has effectively removed the topic of culture from the language debate. Under this ideology, the rights of the individual, as an individual, are paramount, while cultural values are seen as ethnocentric and backward-looking. He argues that neo-liberal ideology lessens the contact of the language debate, and also weakens the position of the two linguistic communities in face of more powerful influences from outside the province and the country.
