Résumé
Allan Levine. Coming of Age: A History of the Jewish People of Manitoba. Winnipeg: Heartland Associates, 2009. 511 pp. Notes. Bibliography. Glossary. Index. $ 42.95 hc. Coming of Age contains a vast collection of well-told stories, anecdotes, and contextual information. Chronologically ordered, it lacks a driving theme that unrolls, but this absence is no shortcoming for, opened anywhere, this book engages, informs, and entertains in effective, if not vigorous, prose. This latest effort by historian Allan Levine, author of ten books including some mystery novels, received the Book of the Year Award from the Manitoba Writers' Guild. Directed at a popular, rather than specialized, academic audience, this is the best history of a Manitoba ethno-cultural community that this reviewer has come across. Produced with editorial, archival, and financial assistance from the Jewish Heritage Centre of Western Canada, the lavishly illustrated narrative features some imaginative curatorial and creative image research mainly photographs of notable personalities and groups, but also of maps, documents, newspaper headlines, and advertisements. They convey a sense of place. Oversized and handsome, the book appears intended to adorn a coffee table, but it is much more than a showy visual volume. The author escapes the charge of reverential hagiography for, in addition, to pointing to commendable group and individual accomplishments, he shines light on a fractured community's cultural conflicts and religious divisions such as those between Orthodox traditionalists and socialist free thinkers. Levine catalogues the advances of the vibrant, enterprising, and perseverant Jewish community, but also identifies the foibles of some group members with shady, colourful pasts. Victims of culturally-sanctioned fears and prejudices--the poisonous Jew-hating sentiments of prominent Canadian thinker and Liberal leader Goldwin Smith will strike the reader--destitute Jewish pioneers and their cells of various intellectual movements united to combat the discrimination they faced. They sought acceptance and integration, but resisted assimilation; one group of schoolchildren at the turn of the twentieth century, for example, sang God Save the Queen in Hebrew. It is a comment on the evolution of Manitoba society and Canadian values that Levine teaches at St. John's Ravenscourt, Winnipeg's prestigious private university-preparatory school. Through most of its history, it would not have tolerated Jewish students or teachers. The story of Manitoba's Jewish community is one of numerical rise and decline, despite its accomplishments, contributions, and relative wealth. Levine speculates that the first Jew in Manitoba was the Hudson's Bay Company factor, a fellow named Jacobs, at York Factory in 1761. The first few Jewish settlers were German and British, but Russian Jews, desperate to escape pogroms and grinding poverty in the 1880s, quickly constituted the community's nucleus and accounted for its growth. …

Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
