Title: Pluralism and inequality in Quebec
First published: 1995
Description: Over the last twenty-five years, the rise of a progressive, state-based Quebecois nationalism has substantially transformed the historical pattern of relationships between Quebec's French-speaking majority and its non-French-speaking minorities. A new era of Franco-phone dominance has been established in most areas of social life, and Anglophones have had to adjust to a new minority status with much reduced influence.

Leslie Laczko draws on public opinion survey data, as well as on a diverse body of theoretical literature dealing with language, ethnicity, nationalism, and social change, to examine the ongoing restructuring of intercommunal relations in Quebec.

In an age when we have come to expect the inevitable violence that ensues when conflicting social groups live in close proximity, Pluralism and Inequality in Quebec is a fascinating and heartening commentary on the way in which such a situation can be solved peacefully.
