Permeable Boundaries: Negotiation, Resistance and Transgression of Street Space in Saint-Henri, Quebec, 1875-1905
|
| Abstract |
In turn-of-the-twentieth-century Saint-Henri, Notre-Dame Street was a contested space. The author argues that the local propertied elite, French and English-speaking, desired a well-ordered and managed central commercial street free of disturbance, a street that would attract more businesses and increase the elite’s property values. The reality was a vibrant street culture of working-class men and women and vagrants that conflicted with the trend towards increased regulation and bourgeois control. Class antagonisms and ethnic friction were often evident, between the local elite and factory owners and the majority francophone renters.
