Quebec's English-language arts have experienced a remarkable revival in the 21st century. The music scene has attracted international attention. Arcade Fire's Grammy award for Album of the Year in 2011 even drew political attention. The National Assembly voted unanimously to recognize the role played by Quebec's artists - Francophone and Anglophone - as ambassadors on the world stage. Quebec's English-speaking community is also producing award-winning writers, film-makers, visual artists, dancers and theatre performers.
As an Italian Quebecer, I think it's great that this history includes lots of artists who were not traditionally Anglo, although they speak English. These are stories that are long over-due to be told.
Jazz vocalist Susie Arioli
I'm always proud to carry my Anglo Quebecer roots when I tour. We have so much incredible talent here. This book tells stories that will surprise and enlighten readers.
