This intellectual history explores how the idea of manhood shaped French Canadian culture and Quebecs nationalist movement. During the latter half of the nineteenth century, Quebec was an agrarian society, and masculinity was rooted in the land and the family and informed by Catholic principles of piety and self-restraint. As the industrial era took hold, a new model was forged, built on the values of secularism and individualism. Jeffery Vacantes perceptive analysis reveals how French Canadian intellectuals defined masculinity in response to imperialist English Canadian ideals. This national manhood would be disentangled from the workplace, the family, and the land and tied instead to ones cultural identity. The new formulation was crucial in the larger struggle to modernize Quebecs institutions while preserving French Canadian community, faith, and culture. It offered French Canadian men a way to remodel themselves, participate in industrial modernity, and still assert cultural authority.
