Gift Giving quality ... 248 pages ... illustrated with B&W photos & historical photos & documents ... In 1738, a young Jewish adventurer named Esther Brandeau arrived in New France disguised as a man ... Her gender and faith were eventually discovered, and when she refused to convert to Catholicism, Esther Brandeau was forced to return to France ... But her courage, tenacity and conviction set the stage for the beginning of Jewish life in Canada ... From Halifax to Victoria, the scope of Canadian Jewish history is rich and diverse ... Jewish fur traders preceeded the arrival of the English in Upper Canada; Victoria was the fist city in British North America to have a Jewish mayor; Jewish women's groups were among the first in Canada to create charitable societies; and workers across the country today are benefiting from the efforts of the Jewish labour force in the early 1900s ... In the 1930s and 1940s, however anti-semitic factions gained strength throughout the country, and as recently as the 1950s Jews were barred from certain professions, hotels and clubs ... Yet the society that emerged from those dark years is a varied and creative mix, a veritable "coat of many colours" of people, traditions and occupations ... illustrated with over 300 photographs and with a text by one of Canada's leading authorities on Canadian Jewish history, this magnificent book presents a surprising and little-known history of a people ... This revised & updated book also contains an inspring new introduction, in which Irving Abella reflects on the challenges facing Jewish Canadians as they enter the new millennium ...
