Book Synopsis

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.



Trade Review

“The research in Distant Stage is excellent, and the writing is really exceptional; it is a pleasure to be guided through the significance of the interwoven cultural episodes at the heart of this book. This is truly a study of two countries’ relations in the cultural and diplomatic fields, not simply Canada's approach to one country. Nonetheless, it does a great deal to rectify the neglect of Quebec, French Canada, and Catholicism in English scholarship on Canada and the world.” David Webster, Bishop's University and author of Fire and the Full Moon: Canada and Indonesia in a Decolonizing World
