The support of various colleagues and collaborators also needs to be highlighted: Professors Johan Leman (Catholic University of Leuven), Xavier Vila (University of Barcelona), Jordi Garetta (Uni- versity of Lleida), and Alan Smith (University of Ulster, Coleraine) welcomed us into their respective universities and commented on the various sections of this book. Alice Martin (M.Ed., Faculty of Education, University of Montreal) collaborated closely in researching documents and finalizing the bibliography. She was preceded in this task by Émilie Boileau, then an MA student in the same faculty. Finally, Marie-Claire Légaré and Louise Simard, respectively, did the linguistic revision of the first French-language draft and assured the word processing of the manuscript’s several versions in its ori- ginal language. We also benefitted from the help of many decision-makers, re- searchers, and stakeholders in the various societies studied, espe- cially the Cultural Communities Directorate of the Ministry of Education, Recreation, and Sport of Quebec, whose collaboration was greatly appreciated. 25076_McAndrew.indb 7 2013-01-16 09:23:45 25076_McAndrew.indb 8 2013-01-16 09:23:45 fragile majorities and education 25076_McAndrew.indb 1 2013-01-16 09:23:45
