| Title |
The Fragmented or Cosmopolitan Metropolis? A Neighbourhood Story of Immigration in Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The author maintains that immigration and the metropolis have long been linked, impacting upon the way we think about the contemporary city. In Montreal's case, she points out, the narrative is a story of immigrant neighbourhoods and illustrates both takes on the metropolis, namely that it can be cosmopolitan or fragmented in nature. The author traces the various chapters of Montreal's history to demonstrate that, whilst its narrative has, for the most part, identified it as a cosmopolitan city, recent developments seem to have triggered a twist in the tale towards a vision of a fragmented city, at least in socio-political discourses.
