Bombings, kidnappings, and murder, mass arrests, and the deployment of soldiers and tanks on the streets. These are aspects of Québec nationalism little known outside of Canada. Nor is Nô – the 1998 film by director and playwright Robert Lepage that treats these episodes – as famous as some of the other films discussed in this book. Yet it is an insightful, funny, and award-winning exploration of the links between nationalism, gender, and violence, and one, unlike most of the films considered here, that offers a hopeful message. The separatist impulses that led to the violent events of October 1970 and the forceful response from the Canadian federal government did not portend a spiral of violence or a descent into civil war, as we have seen in so many other cases. Instead, for many years now the struggle over Québec's status within Canada has been waged by peaceful means: by negotiation and referenda.
