Decolonizing the Uncolonized: France, French Canadian Identity, and the Quebecois Nationalist Movement, 1945-1967
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research project intended to analyze and understand the relationship between Third World decolonization movements, the nascent nationalist movement in Quebec between 1945 and 1967, and the simultaneous development of a strong association between France and Quebec. In this paper, I argue that the nationalist movement in Quebec utilized the terminology and ideology of the decolonization movements in both Algeria and the Caribbean in order to legitimize their rapprochement with France. In a break from the past, nationalists in the Era of Decolonization began to argue that they had been colonized unfairly by the British— despite the fact that they were themselves colonizers of the North American territory— and thus had suffered at the hands of their colonizers, just as other Third World peoples had at the hands of other European powers. This argument, in turn, legitimized the nascent nationalist movement, and permitted both the Quebecois and the broader international community to at least tacitly accept the clear, pro-nationalist actions taken by the French on behalf of the Quebecois starting with de Gaulle’s “Vive le Quebec Libre” speech of 1967.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
