| Synopsis: |
In this richly documented work, Serge Courville tells thegeographical history of Quebec from the appearance of the first humansthrough to the present day. This detailed and erudite book maps majorstages of Quebec's development, providing a geographical recordof the many social relationships that over time created a sense ofplace. Landscape, Courville shows, is the keeper of memory, the recordof successive changes, and a witness to the genesis of the new. Placesthat were once agricultural, then left to waste and ruin, are todayrevivified by tourism. Areas that now house office buildings were longago open playgrounds where children ruled. Drawing on vast research,Courville shows how, in spite of the turbulence Quebec often endures- or perhaps because of it - the land itself may be seen asan important participant in the history of its peoples.Quebec: A Historical Geography was originally published byLes Presses de l'Universite Laval as Le Quebec: Geneses etmutations du territoire. |
