For Roy, as a member of Manitoba's francophone minority, bilingualism was a necessary strategy for survival and success. How did this bilingual and bicultural background help shape her work as a writer in French? The implications of her linguistic and cultural identity are explored in chapters looking at education, language, translation, and the representation of Canada's other minorities, from the immigrants in Western Canada to the Inuit of Ungava. What emerges is a new reading of Roy's work. Drawing on archival material, postcolonial theory, and translation studies, Between Languages and Cultures explores the traces and effects of Roy's intimate knowledge of English language and culture, challenging and augmenting the established view that her work is distinctly French-Canadian or Québécois. 606 $aBiculturalism in literature 606 $aBilingualism and literature 606 $aCulture conflict in literature 607 $aCanada$xIn literature 615 0$aBiculturalism in literature. 615 0$aBilingualism and literature. 615 0$aCulture conflict in literature. 676 $aC843/.54 700 $aChapman$b Rosemary$f1951-$0928506 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791588903321 996 $aBetween languages and cultures$93811491 997 $aUNINA
