Title
Italianité, conflit linguistiques et structure du pouvoir dans la communauté italo-québécoise
Abstract
The authors argue that the low socio-economic origins of post-Second World War Italian immigrants to Quebec led them to prefer the English language as a vehicle of social and economic promotion, and to fiercely resist the imposition in the 1960s of French as the language of education for their children. The authors maintain this resistance led to the emergence of an unprecedented popular social movement which accelerated the reorganization and modernization of power inside Montreal's Italian community, under the hegemony of a new leadership closely associated with a rising ethnic bourgeoisie.
