The Representation of the Jewish Community in Quebec Textbooks
This article examines the representation of the Jewish community and its history and culture in Quebec textbooks within two disciplines that are aimed at educating informed future citizens: History and Citizenship Education and Ethics and Religious Culture. Since most Quebec students encounter this community only through textbooks, it is important to establish the extent to which their education allows them to properly understand and develop positive attitudes toward it. Our study clearly shows that the Jewish community now enjoys greater visibility in textbooks, but this visibility does not always contribute to a better understanding of the community and its history in Quebec.
