Abstract
In the light of the other contributions to this issue, which oer various per- spectives on ethnolinguistic minorities — Anglophones in Quebec and Fran- cophones in Canada outside Quebec — this article explores the question of how the identity process unfolds in these minority groups. These processes do not reflect pure definitions of types of identity groups, such as nation, mi- nority nationalism, or ethnic groups. They are, instead, an interlocking pat- tern of these dierent types, which produces a dynamic determined, in large part, by historic modes of national integration particular to the Canadian context. The specific dynamic, rather than leading us away from our under- standing of ethnolinguistic identities, leads us towards the possibility of a better understanding of how contemporary societies are constructed by the interweaving of ethnolinguistic and ethnocultural groups, national minor- ities and nations.
