Title
Montréal : The Quest for a Metropolis
Abstract
Includes a chapter titled “Language, Ethnic Groups and the Shaping of Social Space” that emphasizes the historic importance of such immigrant groups as the Irish, the Jewish community, the Black community, Italians, Portuguese and Greeks to the development of Montreal. The authors also explain how Montreal had its origins as a missionary scheme of French colonists but emerged after the Conquest under an Anglo-Protestant bourgeoisie into a major North American pivot in the mercantile system and then, until the 1950s, into the uncontested industrial metropolis of Canada.
