Rene Levesque and the Parti Quebecois in Power

Nominated for the Governor-General's Award for Non-Fiction, Rene Levesque and the Parti Quebecois in Power has been described as the classic work on one of the most important periods in recent Quebec history. Graham Fraser paints a vivid portrait of one of the most dynamic political figures of the twentieth century, describes the origins of the Parti Quebecois, and gives a graphic account of key events that still resonate in Canadian political life: Quebec's language law, the 1980 referendum, and the patriation of the constitution.
