A closer look reveals a region with its own gravity, sense of being, and worldly connections. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuebec's Eastern Townships and the World\u003c\/i\u003e examines the region's direct links to larger prevailing international forces and identities. Here, the Eastern Townships take centre stage as the reader encounters the vibrancy of a place marked not by its insularity but by its long history: a central meeting ground shaped by its many engagements with the world. The book provides new perspectives on compelling and significant topics in Townships history and culture, including Indigenous land use, the mobility of peoples to and from the region, linguistic diversity, economic production, education, sport, religion, and culture in myriad forms. These studies recast the Eastern Townships as a centre, a borderland, a lieu de passage between nations, communities, and peoples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFeaturing original and compelling insights, \u003ci\u003eQuebec's Eastern Townships and the World\u003c\/i\u003e confirms that this beautiful region was and is a global place, one intimately connected to the world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheryl Gosselin is professor of sociology at Bishop's University.\u003cbr\u003eChristopher Kirkey is director of the Center for the Study of Canada and the Institute on Quebec Studies at SUNY Plattsburgh.\u003cbr\u003eAndrew C.
