Today, however, Québec society is staunchly secular, with a modern welfare state built on lay provision of social services-a transformation rooted in the "Quiet Revolution" of the 1960s. In Beheading the Saint, Geneviève Zubrzycki studies that transformation through a close investigation of the annual Feast of St. John the Baptist of June 24. The celebrations of that national holiday, she shows, provided a venue for a public contesting of the dominant ethno-Catholic conception of French Canadian identity and, via the violent rejection of Catholic symbols, the articulation of a new, secular Québécois identity. From there, Zubrzycki extends her analysis to the present, looking at the role of Québécois identity in recent debates over immigration, the place of religious symbols in the public sphere, and the politics of cultural heritage-issues that also offer insight on similar debates elsewhere in the world. 606 $aNationalism$zQue?bec (Province) 606 $aSecularism$xPolitical aspects$zQue?bec (Province) 606 $aChurch and state$zQue?bec (Province) 606 $aParades$xPolitical aspects$zQue?bec (Province) 606 $aJohn the Baptist's Day$zQue?bec (Province) 606 $aSocial change$zQue?bec (Province) 610 $aQuebec. 610 $aSt.Jean-Baptiste Holiday. 610 $anational identity. 610 $anationalism. 610 $areligion. 610 $asecularism. 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aSecularism$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aChurch and state 615 0$aParades$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aJohn the Baptist's Day 615 0$aSocial change 676 $a320.5409714 700 $aZubrzycki$b Geneviève, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0866559 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136126503321 996 $aBeheading the Saint$91934336 997 $aUNINA
