Joe Beef Attacks High Society, the State, and the Church : An Analysis of How Different Social Groups Conceptualized Poverty in Early 1879
|
| Abstract |
The author examines how poverty was viewed by different social groups in Montreal during 1879 through an analysis of the manifesto of Joe Beef’s tavern, “Joe Beef of Montreal, the Son of the People". Published by Charles “Joe Beef” McKiernan (1835-1889) and released in the summer of 1879, the text served as a working-class response to the treatment of the working class and the poor by wider Montreal society. The author points out that in the manifesto, McKiernan specifically charges the upper classes, the Catholic Church, and the municipal government with disrespecting and discriminating against working poor of the city.
