Towards a Francophone Community cover

The first in-depth study of Canada's foreign policy with respect to France and the former French colonies.

Examines relations between Canada and French Africa from 1945 to 1968 within the context of Canada's deteriorating relations with France and Quebec's aggressive pursuit of its own international interests in the 1960s. This book shows that there had been active federal interest in French African affairs since the late 1940s.The first in-depth study of Canada

"Avoiding simplistic judgments or ill-founded conclusions, this measured examination should stand as the authoritative study." Hector Mackenzie, senior historian, Foreign Affairs, Canada "This novel focus on French Africa is to be commended for its industry and its systematic and sensible assessment of the available literature."
