FraserGraham Fraser looks at the intentions, the hopes, the fears, the
record, the myths, and the unexpected reality of a country that is
still grappling with the language challenge that has shaped its
history.Fraser is Canada's Commissioner of Official Languages. The book
was apparently published at pretty much the same time as he took
office. Haven't read this book yet but it was mentioned by a friend
(whose main languages are Quebec French and QSL), in an informal
discussion about Montreal's current sociolinguistic situation.As is
often the case, the French edition's blurb is quite different in tone.
No idea if Serge Paquin's translation of Fraser's book into French is
very faithful to the English original.
