A study of the demographic, sociological, cultural and economic dimensions of Canadian Jewish life in the 1930s. The book provides a portrait of a community struggling with the insecurities of recent immigration, the early seductions of assimilation, and a second-class status sustained by anti-Semitism. Originally published in 1939 by the Canadian Jewish Congress in Montreal, "Canada's Jews" has long been out-of-print. Rosenberg drew his information from the Canadian census of 1931 and previous census records, statistical material from other studies collected by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, and international data sources. His comparative approach, with Canadian Jews compared wherever possible to other ethnic or religious groups in Canada and to diaspora Jewish communities elsewhere, is a strength of the work. This edition is a facsimile which faithfully reproduces Rosenberg's meticulous compilation of statistics. It includes an introductory essay by Morton Weinfeld, who focuses on Rosenberg's life, the era, and the relevance of the book for today's readers. Weinfeld has also prepared a bibliography of Rosenberg's social scientific works on Canadian Jewish life. This book is intended for students and researchers in Canadian and Jewish history, and race relations.
