Winner of the Sir John A. Macdonald Prize (2011), Le concept de liberté au Canada à l'époque des Révolutions atlantiques (1776-1838) by Michel Ducharme, has been awarded the Prix Lionel-Groulx Fondation-Yves-Saint-Germain by the Institut d'histoire de l'Amérique française.
"In this original and provocative book, Michel Ducharme situates political debate in the Canadas before 1840 in different conceptions of liberty, both hostile to absolutism, embedded in the political philosophy of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Embedded in a thorough knowledge of political philosophy and in the political debates in Lower and Upper Canada, this book provides a new and richly argued perspective on a crucial period of the Canadian past. Situating the primary cause of unrest in these colonies in different intellectual currents rather than in socio-economic circumstances, it offers a striking alternative to widely-accepted interpretations. It is a milestone in Canadian historiography."
