In this elegant work, Jose Igartua analyzes editorial opinion, political rhetoric, history textbooks, and public opinion polls to show how Canada's self-conception as a British country extended into the 1950s. The Other Quiet Revolution traces this cultural transformation woven through key developments in the formation of Canadian nationhood, from the 1946 Citizenship Act and the 1956 Suez crisis to the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism (1963-70).

Introduction : searching for national identities



Being of the breed



The boundaries of Canadian citizenship



Values, memories, symbols, myths, and traditions



This nefarious work

Predominantly of British origin



Bewailing their loss



A long whine of bilious platitudes


Conclusion : from ties of descent to principles of equality
