Description
The future of relations between Indigenous peoples and Quebecers and the very meaning of the Quebec nation depend intimately on what will or will not be the equal rewriting of our history. Les Autochtones, la parteffacee du Québec traces the first contacts between French settlers and Indigenous peoples. This founding encounter shaped Quebec identity and the way we view the Other. The stories of travelers-explorers and settlers interact with oral stories, myths, legends and contemporary Indigenous writings. A rich portrait emerges where representations and colonial unthought confront and intertwine. By placing Indigenous peoples at the heart of Quebec history, Les Autochtones, la parteffacee du Québec proposes an ethic that breaks with the single vision and reestablishes the equal dignity of the peoples present. Gilles Bibeau is an anthropologist and professor emeritus at the Université de Montréal. He has undertaken research in several countries in Africa, Latin America, as well as in Quebec and India. He has published Genealogy of Violence. Terrorism: A Trap for Thought (2015) and Andalucía, History in Reverse (2017) with Mémoire d'encrier.
