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 \u003cem\u003eLe Devoir\u003c\/em\u003e and as co-chairman of the 1960's Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism. He was a French Canadian, in other words, whose life story mirrors, in both actions and insights, the agonizing struggle of his people to become modern while remaining distinct.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969822277783,"sku":"9780195409178","price":2921.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780195409178.webp?v=1782924479","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/andre-laurendeau-french-canadian-nationalist-1912-1968-9780195409178","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
