About this book
Between 1891 and 1930 Montreal was a bilingual and increasingly multicultural city. Its "two majorities" struggled to negotiate and commemorate their respective memories in the public spaces of the city, using historic monuments to stake a claim to specific places, streets, and neighbourhoods. In Making Public Pasts Alan Gordon argues that the contest was fundamentally ideological, a competition between major social groups to shape perceptions of history and frame the historical consciousness of individuals.
Reviews
"An important contribution to Canadian historiography. Gordon opens fresh ground in the field of Canadian cultural history ... He successfully demonstrates the important role that monuments, historic sites, parades, festivals, and commemorative celebrations played in the political, social, and cultural life of Montreal during a period of great social, economic, and demographic change." Norman Knowles, Department of History, St Mary's College and University of Calgary
