This paper focuses on the internal tensions of Whiteness in the dual settler colonial contexts of Quebec and Canada through the relationship between the province as a White, francophone minority/majority and White anglophone Canada. Whiteness in Quebec is mediated through its settler colonial history, language and complexity of its minority/majority position to create an off-white Quebec national identity. It operates through the racialization of French as a language, from its White settler colonial roots to the present-day context of a post-Quiet Revolution society. Despite its specificities, Quebec echoes themes in global configurations of Whiteness and coloniality.
