By Jocelyn Létourneau. 2020

À un Québec qui change, voici un récit d'histoire au scénario changé. Qui pense la condition québécoise en la sortant…

de sa mémoire tragique et de sa culture de la séparation. Qui met l'emphase sur les adaptations et actualisations d'une société plutôt que sur ses détournements et empêchements. Qui voit les oscillations québécoises non pas à l'origine d'une succession d'inhibitions nationales, mais comme un mode d'évolution par lequel une collectivité n'a cessé de passer à l'avenir. On lira cet ouvrage comme une tentative de cadrer le parcours historique du Québec en dehors des mythistoires et du schéma narratif qui accueillent et charpentent habituellement son déroulement. On le considérera aussi comme un essai visant à poser les bases d'une nouvelle référence historiale, si ce n'est mémorielle, pour les Québécois d'aujourd'hui, vecteurs de leur revitalisation identitaire en cours
