Pierre Anctil proposes a new reading of the editorialspublished in the pages of Le Devoir from 1910 to 1947-from the founding of thenewspaper by Henri Bourassa until the death of its second director, GeorgesPelletier. During that time, some two hundred editorials were devoted to Jewsand Judaism, of which Anctil has selected sixty for inclusion in this volume.Although many of the editorials conveyed the clearly anti-Semitic views of LeDevoir's editorialists and of Quebec society at large, a number of theeditorials did express positive views of Jewish activities and accomplishmentsin Quebec society.
