Contributed by leading scholars of Quebec Studies, both emerging and
established, the 30 essays of this comprehensive collection offer a
multidisciplinary survey of the study of diversity in Quebec over
space and time. The volume is organized around a variety of themes
through which Quebec’s plural reality is expressed, including
conceptual, historical and contemporary approaches, covering a wide
range of social and economic cleavages, identity markers, political
contestation and, broadly, the lived experiences of Quebecers
negotiating difference over time. In an environment increasingly
demarcated by conflicts around values and cultural and social
practices, this collection hopes to contribute to broadening the
spectrum of voices to the current debate, adding an inclusive
reflection to a conversation that has only intensified over the last
decade. Quebec as a pluri-national and multi-ethnic society has been
and remains a great laboratory to study and to test public policies on
ethnic diversity. It allows us to identify the tensions and to
evaluate the balance between the majority and the minority; and
between settler society and indigenous nations, in conceptualizing and
finding a normative consensus around the configuration of collective
rights. In short, the contributions in this volume seek to illustrate
how pluralism has and continues to constitute the lifeblood of
belonging in Quebec.
