Product Description
In this richly documented work, Serge Courville tells the geographical history of Quebec, from the appearance of the first human groups through to the present day. This detailed and erudite book maps the major stages of Quebec's collective development, providing a geographical record of the many social relationships that over time created a sense of place. Landscape, Courville shows, is the keeper of memory, the record of successive changes, and a witness to the genesis of the new. Places that were once agricultural, then left to waste and ruin, are today revivified by tourism. Areas that now house office buildings were long ago open playgrounds where children ruled. Drawing on vast research, Courville shows how, in spite of the turbulence Quebec often endures - or perhaps because of it - the land itself may be seen as an important participant in the history of its peoples. Quebec: A Historical Geography was originally published by Les Presses de l'Universite Laval as Le Quebec: Geneses et mutation du territoire. ... Read more

From the author: Cet article de synthese explore la pertinence d'etudier les geographies historiques des femmes autochtones dans le Nord du Quebec. Il se donne egalement pour but de presenter des pistes de recherche. L'article part de l'hypothese qu'il est impossible de comprendre les geographies historiques et contemporaines des economies de subsistance sans mener des recherches sur le role que les femmes y ont joue. Par ailleurs, nous approfondissons la reflexion sur la facon dont les geographies du passe sont reconstituees par les geographes historiens, tant d'un point de vue epistemologique que methodologique. La geographie historique, comme discipline, s'est surtout consacree a l'etude de la rencontre des immigrants europeens avec ce qui etait pour eux des societes et territoires du <>; par consequent, les geographies des femmes et des autochtones ont beaucoup moins retenu l'attention. Les nouveaux chercheurs devraient tenter de combler ce deficit de connaissances. Se basant sur une approche multidisciplinaire, procedant du general au particulier, ma demarche se fait en trois etapes. Premierement, j'identifie les debats importants entourant les etudes sur le genre et les femmes autochtones dans le contexte colonial. Deuxiemement, je presente une recension de la litterature ethnographique existante sur les femmes cries de l'Est du Canada et evalue les connaissances sur les pratiques feminines au sein de l'economie traditionnelle. Troisiemement, je propose des pistes de recherche specifiques a explorer pour l'etude des geographies historiques--qui inclut, selon moi, les lieux, pratiques et paysages--des femmes autochtones du Nord du Quebec.

Excerpt: LeMoyne, Quebec -The town LeMoyne was created in 1949 from the merger of two parishes, Saint-Josaphat and Saint-Maxime, both of which were previously located in Ville Jacques-Cartier. According to local historian Michel Pratt, the name "LeMoyne" was chosen by Redmond Roche of the Union Nationale, in honor to Charles LeMoyne. LeMoyne made history in 1981 by electing Louise Gravel, the first female mayor in the Champlain RCM. On January 1, 2002, LeMoyne ceassed to exist as a town and was amalgamated into the city of Longueuil to became part of the Saint-Lambert/LeMoyne borough. However, on June 20, 2004 Saint-Lambert voted to demerge from Longueuil and on January 1, 2006 regained its status of city, while LeMoyne opted to stay in Longueuil. After the demergers, LeMoyne joined the Vieux-Longueuil borough following the results of a 2005 referendum in which the residents of LeMoyne were given the choice to pick a new borough between Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert and Greenfield Park. Mother tongue languageFrom Canada 2006 Census LeMoyne is divided into two sections separated by Route 112. They are Saint-Maxime and Saint-Josaphat, the two Catholic parishes that are considered the ancestors to the town LeMoyne. Route 112 is called Saint-Louis Street in Saint-Maxime. Saint-Maxime has the shape of rectangle and is located from St-Louis Street to the limits of Greenfield Park. Saint-Maxime Church Church, built in 1918, is on Charron Street.

Product Description
It takes two pairs of eyes to see things as they really are. The photographer and the geographer are therefore placed side by side in order to take a good look at Quebec from the perspective of a bird’s-eye view. From that height, to be able to see the scenes that make up this land, one feels the rhythm of space, with the arrangement of its geographic zones and the mosaic of form and colour designed by nature or the hand of man. As one follows the long journey transcribed by the 230 photographs, one also discovers the rhythm of passing time, the hours of the day as well as the seasons. ... Read more

Lovely book---get it for C$30 at Amazon.ca
If you're looking for an armchair travel book, this isn't it. Instead it's a (non-technical) book very particularly about light, photography, and Quebec City. Sort of a love letter to the city, from a photographer. If you're visiting QC and want to take great photos, this could help.

Can't fathom why these sellers are charging upwards of $100, when Amazon in Canada is selling for C$30. Outrageous! ... Read more
