Extract

Canada's Francophone Minority Communities: Constitutional Renewal and the Winning of School Governance, Michael D. Behiels, Montreal and Kingston: McGill Queen's University Press, 2004, pp. xxx, 442.

Michael Behiels very straightforwardly sets out the purpose of his book in the very first sentence: “This study is a descriptive analysis of Canada's francophone minority communities' quest for renewal and regeneration through constitutional reform and the winning of school governance” (xxi). Behiels bases his study on archived material from a number of francophone groups, government documents, court decisions, interviews with five francophone activists, and a large number of secondary sources.
