Translated by Vivian Felsen Finalist, 2018 Governor General's LiteraryAwards (GGBooks), Translation category Born in the Ukraine in 1896, and settling in Montreal in 1910, Segal became one of the first Yiddish writers in Canada. His poetry, infused with lyricism and mysticism, along with the numerous essays and articles he penned, embodied both a rich literary tradition and the modernism of his day. Pierre Anctil has written so much more than a biography. For the first time, Segal's poetic production is referenced, translated and rigorously analyzed, and includes over 100 pages of appendices, shedding light on the artistic, spiritual, cultural and historical importance of his oeuvre. By introducing the reader to the poet's work through previously unpublished translations, Anctil demonstrates that in many respects it reflects the history of the Jewish immigrants who arrived in North America from Russia, the Ukraine and Poland at the beginning of the 20th century, as well as the tragic experiences of Jewish intellectual refugees of the interwar period. This admirably written, sweeping yet subtle, work will appeal both to scholars and to a broader audience. The original French version was awarded the prestigious 2014 Canada Prize in the Humanities by the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences.

Jacob-Isaac Segal, un des premiers écrivains en langue yiddish au Canada, est l'auteur d'une oeuvre littéraire à la fois riche et moderne. Né en Ukraine en 1896 et immigré à Montréal en 1910, Segal a fortement contribué à l'essor d'une littérature yiddish dans la métropole québécoise. Auteur de douze recueils de poésie ainsi que de plusieurs essais et chroniques, il s'est taillé une place de renom dans le monde juif d'Europe de l'Est et de New York. Son écriture, empreinte de lyrisme et de mysticisme, a ouvert la voie à un important courant littéraire dans la diaspora juive en Amérique du Nord. Dans cet essai, l'anthropologue Pierre Anctil retrace le parcours littéraire du poète Jacob Isaac Segal et son milieu. Tout en faisant découvrir au lecteur l'oeuvre du poète grâce à des traductions inédites du yiddish vers le français, il montre que l'écriture de Segal reflète, à plusieurs égards, le cheminement des Juifs arrivés en Amérique du Nord depuis la Russie, l'Ukraine et la Pologne au début du XXe siècle.

The language of a thousand years of European Jewish civilization that was decimated in the Nazi Holocaust, Yiddish has emerged as a vehicle for young people to engage with their heritage and identity. Although widely considered an endangered language, Yiddish has evolved as a site for creative renewal in the Jewish world and beyond in addition to being used daily within Hasidic communities. Yiddish Lives On explores the continuity of the language in the hands of a diverse group of native, heritage, and new speakers. The book tells stories of communities in Canada and abroad that have resisted the decline of Yiddish over a period of seventy years, spotlighting strategies that facilitate continuity through family transmission, theatre, activism, publishing, song, cinema, and other new media. Rebecca Margolis uses a multidisciplinary approach that draws on methodologies from history, sociolinguistics, ethnography, digital humanities, and screen studies to examine the ways in which engagement with Yiddish has evolved across multiple planes. Investigating the products of an abiding dedication to cultural continuity among successive generations, Yiddish Lives On offers innovative approaches to the preservation, promotion, and revitalization of minority, heritage, and lesser-taught languages.

Translation and the Global City showcases fresh perspectives on translation in a global context, drawing on case studies from Montreal and other multilingual cosmopolitan cities to examine the historical, sociological and cultural factors underpinning the travel of languages, ideas and cultures across borders. Building on the "spatial turn" in translation studies, the book adopts a bridge metaphor to explore the complexities of translational spaces and the ways in which translation acts can both unite and divide in the global city. The collection initiates the discussion with a focus on the Canadian context and specifically the city of Montreal, where historical circumstances, public policy and shifting language politics have led to a burgeoning translation industry. It goes on to address issues of translation in other regions and cities of the world, generating new insights and opening avenues for further research into the relations between languages and cultures. This volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars in translation studies, especially those with an interest in translation theory and the sociology of translation.

Noted historian Pierre Anctil takes a deep dive into editorials devoted to Jews and Judaism in Quebec’s daily Le Devoir in the first half of the twentieth century. Long one of the most discussed historiographical issues in Canadian Jewish history, these editorials are of great significance as they are representative of the reaction of the nationalist Francophone elite to the Jewish presence in Montreal, to German Nazi State anti-Semitism and to the Shoah. Pierre Anctil proposes a new reading of the editorials published in the pages of Le Devoir from 1910 to 1947—from the founding of the newspaper by Henri Bourassa until the death of its second director, Georges Pelletier. During that time, some two hundred editorials were devoted to Jews and Judaism, of which Anctil has selected sixty for inclusion in this volume. Although many of the editorials conveyed the clearly anti-Semitic views of Le Devoir’s editorialists and of Quebec society at large, a number of the editorials did express positive views of Jewish activities and accomplishments in Quebec society. Readers will find this to be an in-depth analysis and nuanced treatment of an important aspect of Canadian Jewish history. This book is published in English, translated from the original "À chacun ses juifs". - Quelle place la question juive a-t-elle occupée dans les pages du quotidien québécois Le Devoir dans la première moitié du XXe siècle? L’historien Pierre Anctil propose une analyse détaillée des éditoriaux publiés par ce journal respecté entre 1910 et 1947. La position du Devoir relativement à la communauté juive de Montréal et au judaïsme en général est l’une des questions historiographiques les plus débattues en histoire juive canadienne. En effet, les éditoriaux parus dans Le Devoir sont d’une grande signification dans la mesure où ils sont représentatifs de la réaction de l’élite francophone nationaliste à la présence juive à Montréal, à l’antisémitisme de l’État nazi allemand, et à la Shoah. Plusieurs ouvrages de langue anglaise décrivent Le Devoir comme un exemple typique de la position idéologique du Canada français des années 1930 et sa méfiance, voire son hostilité, envers les Juifs. Jusqu’à maintenant, toutefois, aucune étude sérieuse n’avait été réalisée pour appuyer ou pour réfuter ce postulat. Pierre Anctil propose une nouvelle lecture des éditoriaux du Devoir parus entre 1910 et 1947 – soit depuis la fondation du journal par Henri Bourassa jusqu’à la mort de son deuxième éditeur, Georges Pelletier. Environ 200 des éditoriaux publiés pendant cette période – soit 2 % du nombre total – portaient sur les Juifs et le judaïsme. Anctil a fait une sélection de soixante éditoriaux et les présente en version intégrale et offre un commentaire critique pour chacun. De cette collection d’éditoriaux et leur analyse émerge enfin une idée plus claire de l’antisémitisme de l’époque, à la fois dans Le Devoir et dans la société québécoise. Ce livre est publié en anglais, une traduction du titre original "À chacun ses juifs".

In the final volume of the Collected Works of A.M. Klein, Elizabeth Popham completes the process of restoring the public voice of one of Canada's most respected authors. A.M. Klein: The Letters is the first compilation of a significant body of Klein's correspondence. Using his communications to construct a compelling narrative, Popham traces Klein's career from his apprenticeship to great critical success and his tragically premature silence. The content of Klein's letters gives new resonance to his works, most notably to his critically acclaimed novel The Second Scroll (1951) and his Governor General Award-winning The Rocking Chair and Other Poems (1948). In his exchanges with publishers and scholars, Klein glosses his own writing and argues for the integrity of his poetic vision. Samplings of his correspondence with Seagram's Distilleries clarify Klein's controversial role as ghost-writer and PR consultant for Sam Bronfman. A valuable resource for understanding Canadian literary modernism, diasporic Judaism, and the culture of Montreal, A.M. Klein: The Letters is a remarkable portrait of an important Canadian literary figure of the twentieth century.
