Accommodating Bedfellows: Montreal’s Jewish Community and Quebec’s Intellectual Elite
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that Montreal Jews rely on non-Jewish academics, writers and filmmakers to present and even explain, in French, Jewish realities to the Québécois public and within Francophone academia. He contends that the considerable number of publications on Jewish themes, both in fiction and non-fiction, written in French by non-Jews is unequaled in the Francophone world and most likely in the West. However, the author asks, do these works encourage or dissuade critical assessment of Quebec and of Franco-Jewish relations? In this essay, the author outlines, from personal experience, the hypersensitivity within Quebec's Francophone intellectual elite to those "others" who challenge perspectives on Quebec’s history which differs from the dominate views which have originated from within Québécois nationalist circles.
