Ebook: Distant Stage: Quebec, Brazil, and the Making of Canada’s Cultural Diplomacy

Rethinking Canadian international history through the prism of culture featuring a southbound cast of artists, intellectuals, and diplomats.

Distant Stage examines the neglected histories of Canada-Brazil relations and the role culture played in Canada’s pursuit of an international identity. French-Canadian artists, intellectuals, and diplomats are at the heart of both. Eric Fillion shows how Brazil served as a distant stage where Canadian identity politics and aspirations could play out.
