Title
Of Wine And Roses : le Québec anglophone et la France (v. 1920 – v. 1990)
Abstract
The author describes the relations built between the English-speaking minority of Quebec and France from the end of the First World War to the end of the Cold War. He points out that since the 1960s, historiography has emphasized the significance of the “fait français” in the building of France-Québécois ties. However, the author points out, such a narrative, developed during and after the Quiet Revolution, overlooks the existence of numerous connections between Anglo-Quebec and the elites of France. On the French side, exchanges with the English-speaking business community were encouraged in the name of the intensification of France-Canada trade. The author contends that on the Anglo-Quebec side, France embodies a civilizational model whose knowledge of is an integral part of a legitimate culture – that is clearly distinguished from a folklore-like French- Canadian culture. Based on the study of individual trajectories as well as networks of influence, the author qualifies Québécois historiography by bringing to light the official diplomatic and parallel diplomatic ties that unite France and English-speaking Quebec.
