Né en Ukraine en 1896, J. I. Segal arrive à Montréal en 1910 et allait devenir un des premiers écrivains yiddish au Canada. Sa poésie lyrique et mystique, de même que les nombreux essais et articles qu’il a signés, incarnent à la fois une riche tradition littéraire et le modernisme de son temps. Pierre Anctil a écrit bien plus qu’une biographie. Pour la première fois, la production poétique de Segal est référencée, traduite et analysée de manière rigoureuse. Elle est accompagnée de plus de 100 pages d’appendices qui jettent la lumière sur l’importance artistique, spirituelle, culturelle et historique de son oeuvre. En initiant le lecteur à l’oeuvre du poète grâce à des traductions inédites, Anctil montre qu’à plusieurs égards, Segal est le reflet de l’histoire des immigrants juifs arrivés en Amérique du Nord depuis la Russie, l’Ukraine et la Pologne au début du XXe siècle, de même que des expériences tragiques des intellectuels juifs réfugiés d’entre-deux-guerres. Cet essai admirablement bien écrit, ambitieux et pourtant tout en nuances, plaira tant aux chercheurs qu’à un plus grand public. La version originale française (Presses de l’Université Laval) a reçu le prestigieux Prix du Canada en sciences humaines remis par la Fédération canadienne des sciences humaines.

The presence of Jews in Quebec dates back four centuries. Quebec Jewry, in Montreal in particular, has evolved over time, thanks to successive waves of migration from different regions of the world. The Jews of Quebec belong to a unique society in North America, which they have worked to fashion. The dedication with which they have defended their rights and their extensive achievements in multiple sectors of activity have helped foster diversity in Quebec.\nThis work recounts the different contributions Jews have made over the years, along with the cultural context that encouraged the emergence in Montreal of a Jewish community like no other in North America. This is the first overview of a history that began during the French Regime and continued, through many twists and turns, up to the turn of the twenty-first century.

Examining the incomparable “Main,” or Saint-Laurent Boulevard, that crosses the heart of Montreal from north to south, this book explores how it has been a gateway for immigrants and the place where “solitudes” have met. With analysis of the many social and cultural movements that were born on the Main, the volume shows how they continue to thrive and influence Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and beyond.
