Connexions Calendar

Book launch: Speaking Up


December 05, 2012


"Speaking Up" presents a wide overview of the history of the relationship between language and politics in Canada and Quebec from 1539 to the present. A fascinating history of sound and fury, debates and struggles, tensions, but also of appeasement, Speaking Up traces the long history of the language issue.

Join author Marcel Martel for the Toronto launch of Speaking Up on Wednesday, December 5th at the Gladstone Hotel (upstairs gallery) at 7:00 p.m.

As part of the book launch Between the Lines will be formally awarded the $10,000 Wilson Prize for Publishing Canadian History “for [our] record of invigorating and broadening the field of Canadian History.”

Time: 7:00 PM
Venue: Gladstone Hotel
Location: 1214 Queen Street West Toronto, ON
Categories: Arts & Culture
