On February 7, 2012, as students in Quebec prepared to vote to go
on strike, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois gave a rousing speech: ?What you
do today will be remembered. The decision you make will tell future
generations who we were. And you already know what is being said
today about our generation. That we are the generation of comfort
and indifference, the generation of cash and iPods; that we are
individualists, egotists; that we don't care about anything, except
our navels and our gadgets. Aren't you tired of hearing this? Well,
I am. Luckily, today we have a chance to prove that it's not true,
that it has never been true.? The ?Maple Spring? saw more than
300,000 students across Quebec protest a tuition fee hike by
striking from their classes. Nadeau-Dubois takes readers
step-by-step through the strike, recounting the confrontations with
journalists, ministers, judges, and police. Along the way he
exposes the moral and intellectual poverty of the Quebec elite and
celebrates the remarkable energy of the students who opposed the
mercenary attitude of the austerity agenda. In Defiance is
translated from the 2014 Governor General's Literary Award winner
for non-fiction, Tenir t?te (Lux ?diteur)
