"Like all major events in Canadian history, the Quebec Conference of 1864, an important
step on Canada's road to Confederation, deserves to be discussed and better understood.
Efforts to revitalize historical memory must take a multidisciplinary and multicultural
approach. The Quebec Conference of 1864: Understanding the Emergence of the Canadian
Federation expresses a renewed historical interest over the last two decades in both
the Quebec-Canada constitutional trajectory and the study of federalism. Contributors
from a variety of disciplines argue that a more grounded understanding of the 72 Quebec
Resolutions of 1864 is key to interpreting the internal architecture of the contemporary
constitutional apparatus in Canada, and a new interpretation is crucial to appraise
the progress made over the 150 years since the institution of federalism. The second
volume in a series that began with The Constitutions That Shaped Us: A Historical
Anthology of Pre-1867 Canadian Constitutions, this book reveals a society in constant
transition, as well as the presence of national projects that live in tension with
the Canadian federation."
