Foreign Rights

Resulting of a long and meticulous research, this book presents a lively and generous image of the influence of anarchist ideas in the history of Quebec, and reveals the existence of this movement way before the uproars of the 60’s. From the exiles of the Paris Commune to the Automatistes artists and poets, to the anticlerical activists of the Workers University and the Jewish revolutionaries of the Montreal Yiddishland, Mathieu Houle-Courcelles sheds light on different figures and ways of living anarchism and offers an original contribution to the present debate on the French Canadian collective memory.
