| Title |
The Ethnic Division of Labour in Montreal from 1931 to 1951
|
| Abstract |
The author points out that the people who lived in the City of Montreal in the 1950s were exceedingly various. There were officially two languages and unofficially dozens. Many areas of the city provided examples of "culture islands" - those fast-disappearing settlements of "alien" peoples who preserved their ethnic ways of life in a new country, and so impart to the latter "atmosphere" and "flavour". To serve and satisfy the various demands of these people there were many and different institutions making it possible for individuals, if they wished, to live their entire lives in their native atmospheres. On the other hand, the author argues that the city was a unit. It knitted together its heterogeneous population in a number of ways so that they were all Montrealers. The author examines how work, in industries, occupations and professions, was an agent to bring together the various ethnic groups in the city.
