Negotiating Identities in 19th- And 20th-century Montreal

This book illuminates the cultural complexity and richness of a modernizing city and its people. Essays focus on sites where identities were forged and contested over crucial decades in Montreal's history, considering vagrant women, sailors in port, unemployed men of the Great Depression, elite families, shopkeepers, reformers, notaries, and social workers, among others. It is a fascinating study that explores the intersections of state, people, and the voluntary sector to elucidate the processes that took people between homes and cemeteries, between families and shops, and onto the streets.Bradbury, Bettina is the author of 'Negotiating Identities in 19th- And 20th-century Montreal ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780774811989 and ISBN 0774811986.
