Intégration d'une communauté minoritaire en période d'industrialisation: les Irlandais catholiques de la ville de Québec, 1852-1911
|
Abstract |
The author notes that during the industrial period, from the middle of the nineteenth century to the turn of the twentieth century, Quebec City experienced rapid population growth fueled, among others, by massive European immigration. This contributed significantly to socio-economic changes in the capital during this period. She points out that among the migrants, many Irish Catholics passed through or settled in Quebec City and left marks still visible today. However, although the history of the Irish diaspora in North America has been the subject of several studies, the case of Quebec City, especially during the industrial period, is as yet little studied. With the help of Canadian censuses from 1852 to 1911 and marriage records, the author analyzed the degree of integration of the Quebec Irish community in economic, social and spatial components, at micro-scale. Through the observation of employment and socio-professional mobility of the workers, exogamous unions and the evolution of Irish Catholics establishment on the territory, the author shows that overall Quebec Irish Catholic were been able to integrate into (French) Quebec urban society. However, she concludes, considering the important population decline at the turn of the twentieth century, this integration is more visible at the household level than at the community level.
