À mes amis souverainistes
Par Alain Dubuc. 2008
"[...] Ce livre ne porte pas sur la souveraineté et il ne cherche pas à critiquer ce projet souverainiste, auquel…
adhèrent un grand nombre de Québécois, mais il analyse de façon lucide l'impasse du projet souverainiste et l'impasse politique dans laquelle se trouve le Québec. L'auteur décrit les effets pervers engendrés par le fait que le combat pour la souveraineté, parce qu'il n'aboutit pas, a cessé d'être un facteur de progrès, et qu'il est même devenu l'une des causes importantes de la résistance au changement dont souffre le Québec. À mes amis souverainistes est un prolongement de l'essai Éloge de la richesse, du même auteur. Il explore les façons d'aménager un cadre politique qui permettrait au Québec de créer cette richesse : redéployer nos priorités, reconnaître l'urgence des défis qui nous attendent et travailler ensemble. Ce livre insiste sur les convergences qui permettaient à des souverainistes et à des fédéralistes unis par leur désir de modernité de joindre leurs efforts, même si chacun garde ses rêves. Lettre à mes amis souverainistes est un livre polémique, mais aussi une démarche qui repose sur le dialogue et la recherche d'un consensus." -- 4e de couvAuthor examines the stressful shift in the roles of men and women and describes what he believes to be physiological…
