		Within this organizational framework, topics such as the evolution of class structure, the status of women, the role of the church and the educational system, the development of state structures, federal-provincial relations, and major changes in the economy are treated in a cogent and analytical manner.
		Virtually all major themes in Quebec’s modern history are treated here and each chapter is accompanied by a bibliography which provides source material for further reading.
		One example of this is the way in which the text challenges the somewhat simplistic portrayal of francophone Quebec, especially in the early part of the era being examined, as a monolithically traditional folk society thoroughly dominated by clerical conservatism.

	Quebec Report - Kevin Kee
		The recent release of a new Grade 7 and 8 world history and citizenship course raises interesting questions about why and how we teach history and citizenship, questions that educators in the rest of the country may also be facing in the years to come.
		A world history, with an emphasis on the development of "the West", it begins with sedentarization and the organization of societies, and winds its way to the present-day.
		Returning to the history of the Middle Ages, I suggest that it would be better for both history and citizenship if Baghdad were treated as more than an example of similar events.

		By virtue of the Quebec Act, the Royal Proclamation was revoked; the territory of the Province of Quebec was greatly enlarged to include, in particular, the much disputed Ohio Valley.

		Nevertheless, Britain was successful enough with the concessions made in the Quebec Act to prevent the Canadiens from joining the Americans; had Britain not granted the Quebec Act it is possible to imagine that Canada would not exist today.
