Book Synopsis The Jews of Windsor, 1790-1990 by : Jonathan V. Plaut
Download or read book The Jews of Windsor, 1790-1990 written by Jonathan V. Plaut and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2007-05-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the first Jewish settler, Moses David, the important role that Windsor Jews played in the development of Ontario's south is mirrored in this 200-year chronicle. the founding pioneer families transformed their Eastern European shtetl into a North American settlement; many individuals were involved in establishing synagogues, schools, and an organized communal structure in spite of divergent religious, political, and economic interests. Modernity and the growing influences of Zionism and Conservative/Reform Judaism challenged the traditional and leftist leanings of the community's founders. From the outset, Jews were represented in city council, actively involved in communal organizations, and appointed to judicial posts. While its Jewish population was small, Windsor boasted Canada's first Jewish Cabinet members, provincially and federally, in David Croll and Herb Gray. As the new millennium approached, jews faced shrinking numbers, forcing major consolidations in order to ensure their survival.

Book Synopsis Social Discredit by : Janine Stingel
Download or read book Social Discredit written by Janine Stingel and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2000 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Social Discredit Janine Stingel exposes a crucial, yet previously neglected, part of Social Credit history - the virulent, anti-Jewish campaign it undertook before, during, and after the Second World War. While most Canadians acknowledged the perils of race hatred in the wake of the Holocaust, Social Credit intensified its anti-Semitic campaign. By examining Social Credit's anti-Semitic propaganda and the reaction of the Canadian Jewish Congress, Stingel details their mutual antagonism and explores why Congress was unable to stop Social Credit's blatant defamation. She argues that Congress's ineffective response was part of a broader problem in which passivity and a belief in "quiet diplomacy" undermined many of its efforts to combat intolerance. Stingel shows that both Social Credit and Congress changed considerably in the post-war period, as Social Credit abandoned its anti-Semitic trappings and Congress gradually adopted an assertive and pugnacious public relations philosophy that made it a champion of human rights in Canada. Social Discredit offers a fresh perspective on both the Social Credit movement and the Canadian Jewish Congress, substantively revising Social Credit historiography and providing a valuable addition to Canadian Jewish studies.

Book Synopsis The Canadian Jewish Studies Reader by : Richard Menkis
Download or read book The Canadian Jewish Studies Reader written by Richard Menkis and published by Calgary : Red Deer Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canadian Jewish Studies is a young field, often lost in the shadow of its American older sister. In The Canadian Jewish Studies Reader, editors Richard Menkis and Norman Ravvin demonstrate that what's going on in Canada, critically and artistically, is every bit as interesting as the work being done in the United States. Taking a cultural studies approach, the editors view the way that Canadian Jewish identity is examined in literature, visual arts, historical writing, feminist research and urban geography, among other fields. Included, too, is a preface that introduces the field and argues for the particular interest of Canadian Jewish Studies to readers and students in the international community. The articles are supplemented by a range of exciting visuals. The Canadian Jewish Studies Reader also features new work by both editors in their exploration of Canadian literature and history.

Book Synopsis Jews & French Quebecers by : Jacques Langlais
Download or read book Jews & French Quebecers written by Jacques Langlais and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 1991 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews and French Quebecers recounts a saga of intense interest for the whole of Canada, let alone societies elsewhere. This work, now translated into English, represents the viewpoints of two friends from differing cultural and religious traditions. One is a French Quebecer and a Christian; the other is Jewish and also calls Quebec his home. Both men are bilingual. Jacques Langlais and David Rome examine the merging — through alterations of close co-operation and socio-political clashes — of two Quebec ethno-cultural communities: one French, already rooted in the land of Quebec and its religio-cultural tradition; the other, Jewish, migrating from Europe through the last two centuries, equally rooted in its Jewish-Yiddish tradition. In Quebec both communities have learned to build and live together as well as to share their respective cultural heritages. This remarkable experience, two hundred years of intercultural co-vivance, in a world fraught with ethnic tensions serves as a model for both Canada and other countries.
