Summary/Abstract: This article aims at being a defender of the so-called small Canadian literatures in French, which tends to be forgotten or ignored in the face of Québec literature. What are the relations in French speaking Canada concerning its respective literatures? What are the relations of Québec, its literature and the other literatures in French created in Canada: in Acadia, Ontario and Manitoba? What about the contribution of First Nations’ literature in French? Will the history of Canadian literatures in French not have to be rewritten?
