"Entangling the Quebec Act adds original and valuable insight to existing scholarship on the Quebec Act, which has declined in the past half century despite significant constitutional developments in Canada and the rise of "new" imperial and global history. This book is both timely and necessary." Ken MacMillan, University of Calgary and author of Death and Disorder: A History of Early Modern England, 1485-1690 [ The editors] argue for a reconsideration of the Quebec Act from Canadian, North American, Native American, and British Imperial perspectives that demonstrates that the importance of the Act is greater than sum of its many fractured historiographical parts. That is precisely what this collection does show! one of those rare collections in which there is not a single bad essay. British Journal of Canadian Studies « On peut sans doute regretter labsence de certains groupes dans ce portrait densemble trčs réussi, [ mais] quoi quil en soit, ces considérations plus personnelles nentachent pas lexcellence du travail de tout un chacun et tout particuličrement celui dOllivier Hubert et de Franēois Furstenberg qui signent une remarquable introduction. Entangling the Quebec Act constitue une superbe contribution ą une historiographie qui avait bien besoin dźtre un peu dépoussiérée! » Social History-Histoire Sociale The contributors to this collection explore the far-reaching consequences of the 1774 document ... to better understand how eighteenth-century rulers and subjects addressed issues concerning the rights of minorities that, in Canada and elsewhere, we continue to wrestle with today. These essays are valuable contributions to our understanding of the origins and impact of the Quebec Act. University of Toronto Quarterly
