Quebec nationalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1122 words)
Quebec nationalism is the subject of many international studies together with the contemporary nationalism of Scotland, Catalonia and other non-sovereign regions of the world.
Interesting debates on the nature of Quebec's nationalism are currently going on and various intellectuals from Quebec or other parts of Canada have published works on the subject, notably Will Kymlika, professor of philosophy at Carleton University and Michel Seymour, professor of philosophy at Université de Montréal.
People who believe that Quebec nationalism is still ethnic, have often expressed their opinion that the worldview of Quebec's nationalists is insular and parochial and concerned with preserving a "pure laine" population of white francophones within the province.
