<jats:p> It states the obvious to assert that Quebec has undergone massive transformations in the last quarter century, but this anthology of essays on cultural practices in Quebec offers the reader insight into the substance of this new Quebec. Fifteen authors, (excluding the editor who provides a conclusion), discuss the state of Quebec's cultural activity in their areas of specialty. The mass media are treated, of course, but so are such other forms as popular and art music, theatre, dance, sports and recreation, and tourism. The editor conceives of the work as contributing to reflection and debate on Quebec cultural development, and in this he succeeds, if only because of the volume of information the work contains. </jats:p>
