Columns on the March: Montreal Newspapers Interpret the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939
|
| Abstract |
An analysis of the editorials and articles of ten Montreal newspapers towards the Spanish Civil War. The author contends that, contrary to popular conception, not all Quebec Francophone newspapers supported Spain’s General Francisco Franco, nor did all the province’s Anglophone press support the cause of the Spanish Popular Front. The author argues that support for General Franco and the Spanish Republic in Montreal transcended linguistic lines, and cleavages other than language, such as religion, ideology and social class, influenced public opinion towards the war. The English language newspapers the author examined that were the pro-Franco publlcatlons were the Montreal Standard and the Montreal Star; and the pro-Loyalists paper, the McGill Daily.
