| Title |
'Is Richler Canadian Content?': Jewishness, Race and Diaspora
|
| Abstract |
The author remarks that in 2004, two questions were asked in reference to Montreal novelist Mordecai Richler (1931-2001), questions that position Jewish and Canadian in opposition. He notes that the questions — “Is Richler Canadian Content?” and “Whose history is being told? Jewish or Canadian?” — seem to belong to an image of the past found in Richler's 1959 novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. And yet, the author points out, these questions not only were asked recently, but failed to draw attention to their ideological assumptions. One was posed as the topic of a plenary panel for “The Richler Challenge” conference, held at the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada, March 18-19, 2004. And the other was asked by Coral Ann Howells and Peter Noble in the introduction to Where are the Voices Coming From? Canadian Culture and the Legacies of History (2004). The author takes up these questions and their underlying logic.
