A propos de cet article

Paperback. Contributors to this book were all born between the 1920s and the 1950s. They grew up in the area recognized as Canada's wellspring of industrialization - just a short walk from downtown Montreal. They recall vividly for readers the days gone-by when the streets of this industrial/residential area at the east end of the Lachine Canal beside the Montreal harbour still hummed with the sounds of industry, and the narrow streets teemed with children. Now, large swaths of this historic working class, industrial/residential community are ringing with the sounds of urban redevelopment. AUTHOR: Dave Flavell, (McGill University, 1973) spent three years developing these oral histories with contributors. They are rich and colourful stories describing an important time and place in Montreal and Canadian history. These oral histories trace contributors' lives through to the present and provide a unique look at an urban area that produced a profoundly deep and enduring sense of community among its residents. The oral histories are supported extensively with archival and family photographs, as well as related illustrations. REVIEW: ".for anyone interested in the social history of Montreal's storied English-speaking tenement neighbourhoods, his book [D. Flavell's], Community and the Human Spirit is well worth ordering. The gut spirit of the robust neighbourhoods is evident in Ed DiZazzo's assessment. Goose Village, he says, "Taught me the power of community. The isolation formed an inter-reliance on everybody, Surrounded by the river, the coal yards, the meat packing plant the railyards and the towering grain mills, they all served to create what was a virtual island save for Bridge Street, which was the only way out. There was 'a just us' feeling in the village." --- Alan Hustak, Senior Editor, The Metropolitain, Montreal, March 8, 2015 This item is printed on demand.
