Title
Nationalisme et racisme. Dix ans de discours du Parti québécois (1981-1990)
Abstract
Nationalists are often accused of racism, and Quebec nationalists are no exception. However, according to the author, an analysis of content of Parti Québécois' discourse from 1981 to 1990, as reported in five Quebec newspapers (La Presse, Le Devoir, The Gazette, Le Soleil and Le Journal de Québec), demonstrated the contrary. In fact, he argues, the party appeared rather open and favourable to Quebec minority communities: be they Anglophone, Aboriginal, immigrant or other. If criticisms were sometimes expressed against the PQ during this period, especially coming from the Anglophone community, they did not take place in a racist logic but rather in a political one.
