The Religious Claim on Babies in Nineteenth-Century Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The authors' studies of infants and their families in nineteenth-century Montreal determined that cultural community played a more powerful role in infant mortality than economic factors and population density. Francophone Catholic babies were a third more likely to die than either Anglophone (Irish) Catholic infants or Anglophone (English or Scots) Protestant infants. The authors examine the different ways that Anglophone Catholics, most of whom were of the same economic class as Francophone Catholics, differed from the latter, and at times statistically resembled the Anglophone Protestant population.
