Publisher's Synopsis
The proceedings of a colloquium organized to mark the 15th anniversary of the Centre of Quebecan Studies at the University of Trier present a very broad range of research done in Europe and America on the belle province in disciplines as widely variegated as sociolinguistics, law, politics, sociology, geography, history and literary studies. As such they constitute an excellent introduction to 'Quebecan Studies', assembling contributions by experts from America, Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy and Spain providing overviews and synopses of the ongoing work on this subject in the various disciplines and countries represented at the colloquium.
