The 1960s marked the rise of a powerful and reformulated nationalism in Quebec, characterized by a deep sense of identity and widespread frustration, especially among the younger generation. This fervor gave birth to a large nationalist movement, encompassing a diverse spectrum of ideologies from left to right. Simultaneous to the rise of Quebec separatism, a growing Marxist movement emerged, fostering a development of class-consciousness and labour welfare in the province. This culminated in a massive mobilization in 1972, where 350,000 workers went on strike, showcasing an unprecedented wave of socio-political activism in Quebec. This book is the fourth in a series compiling exceptional articles from the radical quarterly journal, Our Generation, selected by the journal's founding editor, Dimitrios Roussopoulos. Founded in 1961, Our Generation significantly contributed to the social study of Quebec until its final publication in 1991. The articles selected for this volume address major currents of thought and action in Quebec from the mid-1960s until this book's publication in 1974. Quebec and Radical Social Change offers a glimpse into the transformative era of the 1960s and 1970s, acting as a historical document that speaks to present times.
