French Canada in Transition is a landmark study of the impact of
rapid industrialization on small French Canadian communities. First
published in 1943 by the University of Chicago Press, it remains
one of the most widely cited works of Canadian Sociology. Hughes's
careful study of a typical Quebec city revealed trends and
developing fault lines that would only make themselves apparent to
less perceptive observers two decades later with the flowering of
the so-call "Quiet Revolution."
Special features of this Wynford edition included the new
introduction by Tepperman, the foreword to the 1963 Chicago
paperback by Nathan Keyfitz of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics
(predessor to Statistics Canada), and Hughes's own preface to the
1963 reprint, as well as a brief biography of Hughes and selections
from important reviews of the book.
French Canada in Transition is a Wynford Book-one of a series of
titles representing significant milestones in Canadian literature,
thought, and scholarship. New introductions place each book in a
modern context and show its continuing relevance.
