________________________________________________ 2015 François-Olivier Dorais, « Gaétan Gervais : témoin et agent d'une mutation référentielle en Ontario français », MENS Volume 13, numéro 2, printemps 2013. ![]() In "Gaétan Gervais: témoin et agent d'une mutation référentielle en Ontario français", François-Olivier Dorais explores the little-studied subject of the relationship between francophone intellectuals outside of Quebec and their communities’ evolving identities. By focusing on Gaétan Gervais, a professor of history at Laurentian University and a central figure in the intellectual life of francophone Ontario, Dorais traces both the creation of a new intellectual sphere and the evolution of Franco-Ontarian identity from the late 1960s to the present. In this richly documented, cogently argued and elegantly written article, Dorais weaves together biography, historiographical reflection, and Franco-Ontarian social and cultural history. In doing so, Dorais’ article not only looks beyond Gervais and towards broader questions of cultural identity since the 1960s, but it also connects Quebec historiography with that of francophones outside of Quebec. _______________________________________________________ 2013 Mourad Djebabla, « Le gouvernement fédéral et la diète de guerre proposée et imposée aux Canadiens ». Bulletin d’histoire politique (vol. 20, no 2) Automne 2011. ![]() This article has several qualities. The author addresses the issue of food consumption during World War one. Mourad Djebabla demonstrates that the war context requiring the maximization of resources for the final victory dictated Canadian rationing policy, and that this policy depended strongly on the evolution of the conflict and international relations. The author’s article analyzes the state efforts to reorient production of the 3 Bs (blé-bacon et boeuf or wheat, beef and bacon) to help the allies. Finally, the author used a variety of excellent sources and his article is supported by a sophisticated analysis. 2012 Stéphane Savard, « L’instrumentalisation d’Hydro-Québec par l’Union nationale (1944-1960) : quels rôles pour le développement hydroélectrique? » published in the edited collection Duplessis, son milieu, son époque (Québec : Septentrion, 2010), edited by Xavier Gélinas and Lucia Ferretti.
