Title
The Historical Debate on the Charges of Anti-Semitism Made Against Lionel Groulx
Abstract
The author offers a very brief summary of the history of the Jewish population of Quebec up to the early 20th century when Quebec nationalsit historian Lionel Groulx's influence was beginning to be felt, in order to set the stage. Then he reviews and discusses the works of several authors who have written on the subject of anti-Semitism in Lionel Groulx's work. In a chronological fashion, beginning in 1944 with an article by Maclean's Magazine editor Blair Fraser, the author follows through the decades up to and including Esther Delisle's controversial 1992 Université Laval PhD dissertation (Antisémitisme et nationalisme d'extrême-droite dans la province de Québec, 1929-1939) and her book, translated into English in 1993 as The Traitor and the Jew: Anti-Semitism and the Delirium of Extreme Right-Wing Nationalism in French Canada from 1929-1939. The author found that from a sparse beginning in the 1940s to the flood of work on Groulx that poured forth in the late 1980s one finds that as the study of Groulx's great body of work diminished over time, the interest in the debate over his racial views grew.
