| Title |
The Geopolitics of the Irish-Catholic Parish in Nineteenth Century Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author argues that the controversy over the subdivision of the extensive parish of Notre Dame in the late 1860s was a defining event in the formulation of Irish Catholic ethnic consciousness in Montreal. She maintains that religious institutions acted as catalysts for debates that encouraged Montreal’s Irish Catholics to define themselves in relation to the French-speaking Catholic majority. These debates had an important territorial dimension and ultimately led to the entrenchment of ethnic boundaries in the urban landscape through the creation of separate parishes for the two groups.
