The 1960s were a victorious decade for francophones in New
Brunswick, who witnessed the election of the first Acadian premier
and the opening of a French-language university. But in 1968,
students took to the streets, demanding further concessions.
Belliveau debunks the idea that students were simply heirs to a
long line of nationalists seeking more rights for francophones. The
student movement emerged in the late 1950s as an expression of the
province’s changing youth culture and then evolved as students
drew inspiration from the New Left. They shifted allegiance from
liberalism to radical communitarianism and ultimately fuelled a new
brand of Acadian nationalism in the 1970s.
