| Title |
'En Avant Sépharades Montréalais!' North African Jews, Ashkenazim, and the Quiet Revolution 1956-1975
|
| Abstract |
The author contends that including Francophone North African Jews in Canadian historiography encourages historians to rethink the role of multiculturalism for Jews in Quebec and their relationship to the Quiet Revolution. The author suggests that the Government of Quebec did not alienate all Jews and attempted to accommodate them. He overturns basic inaccuracies about the North African Jewish experience in Montreal and contends that their French language did not initially serve them, and that their reception by English language Ashkenazi institutions was challenging rather than beneficial. Finally, the author argues that North African Jews did not strive to create their own institutions, and that the formulation of a new Sépharade identity was a reflection of their racialization by Ashkenazim and the strategic repositioning against a bureaucratic definition of Judaism.
