Les grands textes indépendantistes (Typo Ser.)
Par Gaston Miron, Andrée Ferretti. 2004
Ce choix de textes représentatif de l'ensemble du discours indépendantiste permet de bien voir comment il s'est dévelopé au cours…
de l'histoire du Québec, de 1774 à 1992. Des Patriotes de 1837-1838 au Manifeste du FLQ, de Lionel Groulx à Pierre Bourgault et de L'Action nationale à Parti pris, ce panorama de la pensée indépendantiste montre en quoi celle-ci se distingue du nationalime traditionnel. Contrairement à ce qu'en disent ses détracteurs, il s'agit non pas d'un mouvement d'affimation ethnique, mais bien d'une volonté de conquête du pouvoir d'État pour contribuer à l'édification d'un monde plus libre. Dans cette perspective historique, le projet d'indépendance du Québec apparaît nettement comme un projet d'émancipation politique et d'ouverture au monde. 2004.Ottawa inside out: power, prestige and scandal in the nation's capital

Par Alison Acker, Betty Brightwell. 2004
When the Raging Grannies began in 1987 in Victoria, B.C., they didn't plan to start a worldwide movement; they just…

Some violence and some strong language. 2004.On the road again: thirty years on the traveller's train to India

Par Lloyd Axworthy. 2003
