Les rapports interethniques et interconfessionnels à la fin du XIXe siècle : le cas de la Basse-Lièvreet

An examination of the ethnic and inter-confessional relations in Buckingham at the turn of the twentieth century. The author argues that in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century in Buckingham, Quebec, it was not ethnic and confessional mixing that prevailed, but its opposite, spatial and institutional segmentation between French-Canadians and Irish Catholics and Anglo-Protestants. He contends that inter-ethnic tensions and rivalries between Francophones and the two Anglo groups were very high.
