Title
The French-Canadian Outlook : A Brief Account of the Unknown North Americans
Description
Historical survey of French Canada and its people from the 16th century to the end of World War II. Wade illustrates political and military history, emphasizing the conflicts within a singular French-and-British Canada and ending his text, in the culmination of its title, with some thoughts on the "Quebec problem." From Wade's preface to the original edition of the text: "The present work, which is an epitome of a more detailed and fully documented study still in progress ["The French Canadians, 1760-1945" (Toronto, 1955)], is an attempt to present for the general reader the significant facts about French Canada, so far as they could be uncovered by disinterested and objective investigation, without recourse to the wishful thinking that in the past has made the standard English and French histories of Canada so dissimilar as to suggest that they were histories of two different countries. It is my hope that this book will serve to dispel some of the misunderstandings between English and French North Americans."
