Nègres blancs d'Amérique
Nègres blancs d'Amérique ( French for " White Niggers of America "; in the English translation White Niggers of America ) is an autobiographical book by the Québec author Pierre Vallières , which was published in 1968 by Parti pris.
Work and reception
The work, written during Vallières' imprisonment in the USA , is an essay and autobiography at the same time, and paints a portrait of Québec society in the 1950s and 1960s, when it was still heavily influenced by Anglo-American economic conglomerates and not clearly in the light of the various influences of power could define myself.
According to Vallières, the francophone province of Québec was home to a people who were still under the yoke of colonization and could only be liberated by a (Marxist) revolution.
The book became at times the main manifesto of the emerging national consciousness of the people of Québec. According to Louis Hamelin, Nègres blancs d'Amérique remains the outstanding Québec document on the upsurges of those years.
Nègres blancs d'Amérique has been republished several times by various publishing houses (Parti pris, Maspéro, Typo).
