Louis Rosenberg and the Origins of the Socio-Demographic Study of Jews in Canada
|
| Abstract |
Louis Rosenberg's Canada's Jews: A Social and Economic Study of the Jews in Canada, published in 1939, was a pioneering if neglected classic of Canadian ethnic demography and sociology. His work was a product of his personal biography, the current sociopolitical context, and the customs and norms of his discipline. The author outlines a brief treatment of the man, the times and the work. The Polish-born Rosenberg (1893-1987) moved with his family to England and studied at Leeds University (B.A., 1914). In 1915 he moved to Canada and served as the director of settlement of the Jewish Colonization Association between 1919 and 1940. In 1945, Rosenberg was appointed to serve as "National Research Director" (and only employee) of the Bureau of Social and Economic Research at the Montreal-based Canadian Jewish Congress. He produced a steady stream of social studies on Canada's Jews, using the Canadian census material but also conducting his own surveys. His archives are located in both the Library and Archives Canada (Ottawa) and the CJCCC (Montreal).
