Formal and Informal Politics of British Rule in Post-Conquest Quebec, 1760-1837

A Northern Bastille

Beschreibung

This striking reinterpretation of the history of Quebec in the revolutionary era - demonstrated through a micro-historical analysis of 20,000 court records as well as official and unofficial political discourses - shows that a central aim of British Imperial rule was the assimilation and subjugation of the French Canadian majority in the colony.
