		Culture is the sensuous expression of a people; it is an amalgam of historically accumulated arts and skills which allows people to express and develop their creativity.
		Clearly, Quebec's political status imposes restrictions on the cultural expression of the Quebecois, but to limit the terms of the cultural question to the macro-political arena is to seriously understate what needs to be done.
		Quebec, for instance, already controls all matters relating to the crucial areas of language, education, and natural resource development, and the province effectively exercises a veto power over federal immigration policies.

		The Québec in Motion event, held in the United Kingdom from March to June 2000, is a wonderful example of the diversity of artistic expression of the dominantly French-speaking region of North America.
		Perhaps paradoxically, the self-confidence and openness of Québec culture is a direct consequence of an apparently contrary phenomenon: the affirmation of the province’s dominantly French identity, which became an active force in its social, political and, consequently, cultural and artistic life, starting about forty years ago.
		One of the first innovations was the creation of the Department of Cultural Affairs in 1961, which marked the beginning of the government’s active involvement in the artistic and cultural sector.

	Québec Independence
		At the current time, world politics are highlighted by two contradictory trends, the break-up of federal states and the formation of state-like Supra-national economic alliances.
		Where independence is favoured only by cultural factors (as in Wales, Scotland, or the Basque region of Spain), a lot of noise is made, but there is no real progress towards independence.
		Cultural reasons alone are not sufficient to induce a population to leave the relative security and wealth of Canada for the uncertain prospects that independence brings.

	UW Press - : Nationalism and the Politics of Culture in Quebec, Richard Handler
		Richard Handler's pathbreaking study of nationalistic politics in Quebec is a striking and successful example of the new experimental type of ethnography, interdisciplinary in nature and intensively concerned with rhetoric and not only of anthropologists but also of scholars in a wide range of fields, and it is likely to stir sharp controversy.
		Bringing together methodologies of history, sociology, political science, and philosophy, as well as anthropology, Handler centers on the period 1976–1984, during which the independantiste Parti Québéois was in control of the provincial government and nationalistic sentiment was especially strong.
		He examines cultural tourism, ideology of the Quebec government, legislations concerning historical preservation, language legislation and policies towards immigrants and "cultural minorities." He concludes with a thoughtful meditation on the futility of nationalisms.
