Download or read book Jews and French Quebecers written by Jacques Langlais and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2010-10-30 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.

Download or read book A Reluctant Welcome for Jewish People written by Pierre Anctil and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noted historian Pierre Anctil takes a deep dive into editorials devoted to Jews and Judaism in Quebec’s daily Le Devoir in the first half of the twentieth century. Long one of the most discussed historiographical issues in Canadian Jewish history, these editorials are of great significance as they are representative of the reaction of the nationalist Francophone elite to the Jewish presence in Montreal, to German Nazi State anti-Semitism and to the Shoah. Pierre Anctil proposes a new reading of the editorials published in the pages of Le Devoir from 1910 to 1947—from the founding of the newspaper by Henri Bourassa until the death of its second director, Georges Pelletier. During that time, some two hundred editorials were devoted to Jews and Judaism, of which Anctil has selected sixty for inclusion in this volume. Although many of the editorials conveyed the clearly anti-Semitic views of Le Devoir’s editorialists and of Quebec society at large, a number of the editorials did express positive views of Jewish activities and accomplishments in Quebec society. Readers will find this to be an in-depth analysis and nuanced treatment of an important aspect of Canadian Jewish history. This book is published in English, translated from the original "À chacun ses juifs". - Quelle place la question juive a-t-elle occupée dans les pages du quotidien québécois Le Devoir dans la première moitié du XXe siècle? L’historien Pierre Anctil propose une analyse détaillée des éditoriaux publiés par ce journal respecté entre 1910 et 1947. La position du Devoir relativement à la communauté juive de Montréal et au judaïsme en général est l’une des questions historiographiques les plus débattues en histoire juive canadienne. En effet, les éditoriaux parus dans Le Devoir sont d’une grande signification dans la mesure où ils sont représentatifs de la réaction de l’élite francophone nationaliste à la présence juive à Montréal, à l’antisémitisme de l’État nazi allemand, et à la Shoah. Plusieurs ouvrages de langue anglaise décrivent Le Devoir comme un exemple typique de la position idéologique du Canada français des années 1930 et sa méfiance, voire son hostilité, envers les Juifs. Jusqu’à maintenant, toutefois, aucune étude sérieuse n’avait été réalisée pour appuyer ou pour réfuter ce postulat. Pierre Anctil propose une nouvelle lecture des éditoriaux du Devoir parus entre 1910 et 1947 – soit depuis la fondation du journal par Henri Bourassa jusqu’à la mort de son deuxième éditeur, Georges Pelletier. Environ 200 des éditoriaux publiés pendant cette période – soit 2 % du nombre total – portaient sur les Juifs et le judaïsme. Anctil a fait une sélection de soixante éditoriaux et les présente en version intégrale et offre un commentaire critique pour chacun. De cette collection d’éditoriaux et leur analyse émerge enfin une idée plus claire de l’antisémitisme de l’époque, à la fois dans Le Devoir et dans la société québécoise. Ce livre est publié en anglais, une traduction du titre original "À chacun ses juifs".

Download or read book History of the Jews in Quebec written by Pierre Anctil and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of Jews in Quebec dates back four centuries. Quebec Jewry, in Montreal in particular, has evolved over time, thanks to successive waves of migration from different regions of the world. The Jews of Quebec belong to a unique society in North America, which they have worked to fashion. The dedication with which they have defended their rights and their extensive achievements in multiple sectors of activity have helped foster diversity in Quebec. This work recounts the different contributions Jews have made over the years, along with the cultural context that encouraged the emergence in Montreal of a Jewish community like no other in North America. This is the first overview of a history that began during the French Regime and continued, through many twists and turns, up to the turn of the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early twentieth century witnessed the emergence of Scottish and Quebec nationalisms that were closely intertwined with liberal philosophies. The Young Scots' Society and the Ligue nationaliste canadienne carried these liberal nationalist ideas. This book offers a comparative and historical examination of their ideas and politics, exploring the Young Scots as a movement, as well as the ideas of key Nationalistes. James Kennedy argues that the growth of the Young Scots' Society and the Ligue nationaliste canadienne was largely in response to changes within empire, state, and civil society. He suggests that the actions of the British Empire and the Canadian state not only prompted nationalist responses in Scotland and Quebec respectively, but also shaped their liberal character. His comparative analysis provides insights that would not arise from a single case study of either movement, while detailing the important roles that geopolitics, consociation and federation, and organized religion played in the creation of nationalist philosophies. The first-ever comparative history of nationalism in Scotland and Quebec, Liberal Nationalisms is an insightful study of nascent political nationalisms and a major contribution to the scholarship of nationalist movements in the early twentieth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Constitution Act of 1867 was enacted, section 93 guaranteed certain educational rights to Catholics and Protestants in Quebec, but not to any others. Over the course of the next century, the Jewish community in Montreal carved out an often tenuous arrangement for public schooling as “honorary Protestants,” based on complex negotiations with the Protestant and Catholic school boards, the provincial government, and individual municipalities. In the face of the constitution’s exclusionary language, all parties gave their compromise a legal form which was frankly unconstitutional, but unavoidable if Jewish children were to have access to public schools. Bargaining in the shadow of the law, they made their own constitution long before the formal constitutional amendment of 1997 finally put an end to the issue. In Honorary Protestants, David Fraser presents the first legal history of the Jewish school question in Montreal. Based on extensive archival research, it highlights the complex evolution of concepts of rights, citizenship, and identity, negotiated outside the strict legal boundaries of the constitution.

This book was released on 1987 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jews of North America, based on the latest research by fifteen historians and scholars from Canada, Israel, and the United States, is the first book to focus on the ethnic totality of the American and Canadian Jewish experience. The book blends a rich array of interrelated themes into a composite whole that is central to an understanding of North American Jewish history. The emphasis on continuity of tradition in these essays counters the prevailing myth of discontinuity, which promotes the notion of the great sense of separation Jews felt from "the world we have lost." The volume also provides an interesting comparative dimension by examining the similarities and dissimilarities of the American Jewish immigrant experience in both Canada and the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection delves into the horrors of November 1938 and to what degree they portended the Holocaust, demonstrating the varied reactions of Western audiences to news about the pogrom against the Jews. A pattern of stubborn governmental refusal to help German Jews to any large degree emerges throughout the book. Much of this was in response to uncertain domestic economic conditions and underlying racist attitudes towards Jews. Contrasting this was the outrage expressed by ordinary people around the world who condemned the German violence and challenged the policy of Appeasement being advanced by Great Britain and France towards Adolf Hitler’s Nazi German government at the time. Contributors employ multiple media sources to make their arguments, and compare these with official government records. For the first time, a collection on Kristallnacht has taken a truly transnational approach, giving readers a fuller understanding of how the events of November 1938 were understood around the Western world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from newspapers, journals, government reports, and archival records, Terry Copp – one of Canada’s leading military historians – tells the story of how citizens in Canada’s largest city responded to the challenges of the First World War. Montreal at War addresses responses to the outbreak of war in Europe and the process of raising an army for service overseas. It details the shock of intense combat and heavy casualties, studies the mobilization of volunteers, and follows the experience of battalions from Montreal to the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Challenging long-held assumptions, Montreal at War aims to understand the war experience as it unfolded, approaching history from the perspective of those who lived through it.

Download or read book Antisemitism in Canada written by Alan Davies and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first collection of scholarly essays to treat the topic of antisemitism in Canada, a complete history of which has yet to be written. Eleven leading thinkers in the field examine antisemitism in Canada, from the colonial era to the present day, in essays which reflect the saga of the nation itself. The history of the Jewish community, its struggles and its fortunes is mirrored in the wider history of Canada, from Confederation to the present. The contributors cast light on Canadian antisemitism through a thorough examination of old and new tensions, including Anglo-French, east-west and Jewish-Ukrainian relations. Attitudes to Jews in pre-Confederation Canada, French Canada from Confederation to World War I as well as the interwar years, and in twentieth-century Ontario and Alberta from 1880-1950 are illustrated in various chapters. Of particular interest are the examinations of such well-known figures as Goldwin Smith, the greatly admired liberal historian of Victorian Canada, Adrien Arcand, the would-be Führer from Quebec, and James Keegstra and Ernst Züdel, of more recent notoriety. Analyses are also provided of Nazism and Canadian Protestantism and Jewish-Ukrainian relations since World War II. This is a complex and contentious subject; yet, to understand the ideas and forces that have sought to undermine the Jewish presence in Canada is to understand the dangers that threaten any democratic society, and thereby to guard against them. This compelling collection of essays offers intelligent, readable accounts of an area of Canadian history about which we know too little.
