“Guy Rodgers is telling English Quebecers our history in a novel way. If you are part of it, the stories will make you proud and remind you that this is your home.”
– Accenti
“Rodgers doesn’t see current language battles in Quebec as English versus French, but a battle between unilingualism and multilingualism.”
– Montreal Review of Books
“For those of us who have lived through the post Bill 101 years, What We Chose To Forget is a page-turner! Guy Rodgers is a terrific communicator and this book is a splendid read.”
– The Montrealer
“Avec cet ouvrage, Guy Rex Rodgers dit vouloir amorcer une réflexion et favoriser le dialogue entre les différentes communautés linguistiques du Québec.”
– Les Versants
“Perhaps the greatest takeaway from Rodgers’ work is that understanding a place requires listening to more than one voice. Every community carries memories, struggles, achievements, and perspectives that deserve attention.”
