Hardcover. 8vo., 278 pp. The book is a class analysis of French Canadian settlement and social, political, and economic life in Canada since arrival. Vallires argues that French Canadians have been kept in a position of exploited workers by the English upper class entrepreneurs. He draws parallels between the social and economic… position of French Canadians and slaves in the United States, hoping to show that both cultural groups have been brought to the continent to serve as the lower, under, and working class for a common oppressor. Very Good in a Fair, lightly edge worn dust jacket.
