Lots of Information -- Irritating Tone,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Quebec: A History 1867-1929 (Paperback)
Lots of detailed information on an unusual piece of history. The smug Francomarxist tone is really annoying. Part of this results from the unfortunate fact that standard French historical writing often sounds smarmy in English translation. But most of the problem is the usual result of writing a history in which living people are replaced by icons representing their class and ethnicity. These icons interact -- like those in a primitive video game -- through a limited set of predetermined moves described in the monotonous vocabulary of liberation socialism. It's fun to drag out the old Nintendo and resurrect the Mario Brothers now and again. But, nostalgia value aside, the current state of the art in both video games and historical analysis is several generations past that sort of thing.
