Canada Exposed / Le Canada à découvert

To what extent does Canada need to be reappraised? "Canada Exposed", the 6 th biennial conference of the International Council for Canadian Studies, aimed to establish a better understanding of Canada. In this collection of papers from the conference, Canadian and international scholars examine little-studied or lesser-known aspects of Canadian culture, economics, politics, history and sociology, thus revealing the strengths and weaknesses of a society grappling with issues shared by many other contemporary societies.
Découvrir le Canada ? Mieux le découvrir ! Tel était l'objectif du 6 e colloque biennal du Conseil international d'études canadiennes " Le Canada à découvert ". En examinant certains éléments peu connus ou peu traités dans les domaines de la culture, de l'économie, de la politique, de l'histoire et de la sociologie, des chercheurs canadiens et internationaux révèlent les forces et les faiblesses d'une société aux prises avec des problèmes et des situations que partagent de nombreuses sociétés contemporaines. Ce volume rassemble et présente les fruits de leurs réflexions.
