Primer on the October Crisis

by Patience_dans_lazur

I'm currently reading La constéllation du lynx by Louis Hamelin. It's a work of historical fiction that centers around the events of the October Crisis, but I don't feel like I have the proper historical context to fully appreciate what's going on. Despite growing up in Quebec I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as I should be about Canadian history.

Could anyone suggest a good place to start learning about the post-WWII Quebec independence movement? I'm particularly interested in its more radical elements. Un texte en français serait préférable.

It isn't specifically about the October Crisis, but you might try The Morning After by Chantal Hebert. It deals with the 1995 Quebec referendum and goes into a bit of the history before and after.
