Description of the Book: Rene Levesque and the Parti Quebecois in Power

For Advertisment

Rene Levesque and the Parti Quebecois in Power has been described as the classic work on one of the most important periods in recent Quebec history. Graham Fraser paints a vivid portrait of one of the most dynamic political figures of the twentieth century, describes the origins of the Parti Quebecois, and gives a graphic account of key events that still resonate in Canadian political life: Quebec's language law, the 1980 referendum, and the patriation of the constitution. In a new preface, Fraser completes the story of the last months of the PQ government and the period leading up to Levesque's death in 1987, detailing how Levesque's leadership continues to mark his successors.
