Their presence is undeniable, and their voices carry the narrative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOriginally published as \u003ci\u003eC'est le Québec qui est né dans mon pays!, \u003c\/i\u003e this translation creates a bridge, from one colonial language to another, that will enable conversations across and beyond spaces and languages. It aims to shed light on colonial mainstream narratives in Canada and, more precisely, in Québec, by considering the politics of linguistic hegemony and the double exiguity that Indigenous peoples often find themselves in, calling for a better understanding of how the province's specific colonial history has had a profound and continued impact on its 11 Indigenous Nations. This book's unusual (academically-speaking) form as a \"carnet\", or diary, becomes an anthology of statements of witnessing, which, coupled with the illustrative narrative, bears its decolonizing mission.\u003ci\u003e Quebec Was Born in My Country!\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately is about foregrounding common and collective experiences, with the crucial goal of furthering education.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 222\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 11.6 x 8.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 08, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47437854474461,"sku":"9781771126779","price":42.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/SXixEAyt_U9781771126779_c536a226-f4b8-43bc-9a1a-9ce32fdf5859.webp?v=1771410424","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/quebec-was-born-in-my-country-a-diary-of-encounters-between-indigenous-and-quebecois-peoples-paperback-1","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
