The Salamander and the Chameleon: Religion, Race and Evolutionism in the Anglo-Jewish Press, Montreal, 1897-1914.
|
| Abstract |
The common historical conception is that ethnic minority groups viewed “Social Darwinism” as a threat – a weapon used against them by nativists and reactionaries. However, an examination of Montreal’s English-language Jewish press at the turn of the twentieth century reveals that Darwinism and its offshoots – including race science and eugenicism – were employed by a few key individuals in Canadian Jewish journalism as weapons of group-defense and group-assertion in battles against anti-Semitism as well as factional disputes.
