Description
Andre Laurendeau was known in Quebec as a leading nationalist activist and theorist through the critical decades of societal change from the 1930s to the 1960s. His own generation especially recalled his public role as an anti-conscription dissident and provincial politician during World WarII. Younger French Canadians related to him as a gifted political journalist; a media figure in both radio and television; a novelist and tele-theatre dramatist; and through it all, 'an engaged intellectual'. English Canadians remember him as editor of Montreal's French language newspaper LeDevoir and as co-chairman of the 1960's Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism.
