Title
A Double Standard : The Respective Responsibilities of English and French-language Canada in the German Refugee Crisis
Abstract
The author challenges the standard historiographical view, repeated in Irving Abella's and Harold Troper's 1982 book None Is Too Many: Canada and the Jews of Europe, 1933-1948, that Quebec's Francophone elite was one of the main obstacles in the 1930s to the admission to Canada of German Jewish refugees. The author argues that Anglophone historians do not appreciate the cultural reasons for Francophone Quebec's xeonphobic attitudes towards immigrants.
