Manitoba's French-Language Crisis: A Cautionary Tale

Front Cover
McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP, May 25, 2004 - Political Science - 677 pages
Hébert considers various theoretical models to explain aspects of the crisis and concludes that the authoritarian personality model is the most relevant. Right-wing authoritarianism exists everywhere and, he argues, under proper conditions, especially demagogic leadership, can provoke populist explosions of racist and prejudiced sentiment; hence the "cautionary" nature of this Canadian tale.
