'Mais je suis Anglophone...': Geographies of Place and Belonging in English Quebec
|
| Abstract |
An examination of the everyday experiences of Anglophone communities in three regions of Quebec -- the Gaspésie, West Quebec (Gatineau), and the Eastern Townships. The author focuses on the role of different geographic contexts on everyday access to social services, particularly health care, and how these experiences contribute to Anglophones' sense of attachment. The author discovered: (1) issues with accessing healthcare in
English reinforces Anglophones’ minority status; (2) in spite of the challenges faced as a linguistic minority, Anglophones demonstrate a strong sense of place to their region; and (3) feelings of home, heritage, and rootedness constitute elements in Anglophones’ place attachment and contribute to their sense of place in Quebec. The author also concludes that age, mobility, and location are important variables in influencing everyday experiences in each of the three regions
