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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePierre 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReaders will find this to be an in-depth analysis and nuanced treatment of an important aspect of Canadian Jewish history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished in English, translated from the original \"ﾀ chacun ses juifs\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Anctil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0776627953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780776627953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Ottawa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Pierre Anctil","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926010298623,"sku":"9780776627953","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e57b740f-aec8-4639-a855-17de3781e824.jpg?v=1681080669","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-reluctant-welcome-for-jewish-pierre-anctil-9780776627953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
