In Community Besieged Garth Stevenson describes the unusual circumstances that allowed Englishspeaking Quebecers to live in virtual isolation from their francophone neighbours for almost a century after Confederation. He describes their relations with Maurice Duplessis and the Union Nationale and their ambivalent response to the Quiet Revolution. New political issues language policy, educational reform, sovereignty, and the constitution undermined the old system of elite accommodation in Quebec, causing conflicts between anglophones and francophones and creating a new sense of anglophone identity that transcends religious differences. The changing relations of Quebec anglophones with the major political parties, as well as the role of newer entities such as Alliance Quebec and the Equality Party, are also examined. Stevenson concludes with a look at the future of anglophones in Quebec. Based in part on interviews with more than sixty Englishspeaking Quebecers who have played prominent parts in Quebec's political life, Community Besieged is a comprehensive and uptodate description of the political life of this unique minority at both the federal and provincial level.
