Connected Struggles
"Connected Struggles makes a very significant and original contribution and represents a serious advance in state-of-the art research. Identity politics influenced the history of Canadian and Mexican diplomacy in the Americas - that is what is revealed and explained in this study, with all the implications this had for Canada's and Mexico's political contexts." Jean Meyer Barth, History Division, Centro de Investigacio n y Docencia Econo micas " Sheds light on a significant, but still little-studied, period of transition in Mexican politics. Demers does an admirable job of considering what his narrative tells us about both Mexico and Canada. A fascinating story about both the extent to which civil society and non-state actors can shape international relations and the limits of their influence." British Journal of Canadian Studies
Nationalists from Quebec and Catholic militants from Mexico once shared a common cause, one that influenced international relations between their two countries. At a time when the Revolution and its aftermath in Mexico and world wars marginalized voices of political dissent in Canada, Catholics in both nations saw their cultural struggles as interconnected and worked to build transnational alliances as meaningful discourses of cultural identity.

Demers explains how the foreign ministries in Canada and Mexico both used and denounced these linkages, depending on the political gains to be made. Documenting the emergence of solidarity between French Canadians and Mexicans, Connected Struggles contributes to the understanding of the influence of civil societies in the history of international relations.
