Description

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 "A chacun ses juifs". - Quelle place la question juive a-t-elle occupee dans les pages du quotidien quebecois Le Devoir dans la premiere moitie du XXe siecle? L'historien Pierre Anctil propose une analyse detaillee des editoriaux publies par ce journal respecte entre 1910 et 1947. La position du Devoir relativement a la communaute juive de Montreal et au judaisme en general est l'une des questions historiographiques les plus debattues en histoire juive canadienne. En effet, les editoriaux parus dans Le Devoir sont d'une grande signification dans la mesure ou ils sont representatifs de la reaction de l'elite francophone nationaliste a la presence juive a Montreal, a l'antisemitisme de l'Etat nazi allemand, et a la Shoah. Plusieurs ouvrages de langue anglaise decrivent Le Devoir comme un exemple typique de la position ideologique du Canada francais des annees 1930 et sa mefiance, voire son hostilite, envers les Juifs. Jusqu'a maintenant, toutefois, aucune etude serieuse n'avait ete realisee pour appuyer ou pour refuter ce postulat. Pierre Anctil propose une nouvelle lecture des editoriaux du Devoir parus entre 1910 et 1947 - soit depuis la fondation du journal par Henri Bourassa jusqu'a la mort de son deuxieme editeur, Georges Pelletier. Environ 200 des editoriaux publies pendant cette periode - soit 2 % du nombre total - portaient sur les Juifs et le judaisme. Anctil a fait une selection de soixante editoriaux et les presente en version integrale et offre un commentaire critique pour chacun. De cette collection d'editoriaux et leur analyse emerge enfin une idee plus claire de l'antisemitisme de l'epoque, a la fois dans Le Devoir et dans la societe quebecoise. Ce livre est publie en anglais, une traduction du titre original "A chacun ses juifs".

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
