“Gouanvic’s SF: Dix années de science-fiction québécoise (Montréal, 1988; “Autres mers, autres mondes” series) is a competent anthology of ten high-point strories. In the same year Gouanvic also published in the same series Dérives 5 (Montréal, 1988), another francophone anthology; of the five stories, which all seem to focus on the perversion of social power, those by two of the four Québéckers represented, Jean Pettigrew and Esther Rochon, are particularly fine.”
“I ended up in Québec. And I did think I could help. I did think English Québéckers were getting a bum deal.”
“Or as Ouali, 20 years old, who arrived in Canada from Algeria only 11 months before we began the workshops in Saint-Michel, describes: “Arabs, Haitians, Québéckers, and South Americans play together”.”
“Irreconcilable ethnocultural claims are perhaps posed most acutely by the confrontation in claims of francophone Québeckers and First Nations people within the province of Québec.”
