Quatrième de couverture:
"The point of developing Québec Studies around the world is not simply to maintain a university network, but to favour scientific exchanges and a better understanding of minority cultures. The idea of cultural diversity, directly inspired y the ecological concept of biological diversity, promotes the richness and necessity of diversity, which by extension involves the flourishing and understanding of the cultures of small nations."
In this book, the author reviews the history of the institutionalization of Québec Studies around the world, while identifying how they have come to be structured, be it through Canadian Studies or Francophone Studies. He also refers to the challenges raised by interdisciplinarity, the use of French as a language of scientific diffusion, as well as the problems and future perspectives of Québec Studies.
