Mélanie Morin-Pelletier, a historian at the Canadian War Museum, “follows the journey of Maude Blake Holton, likely the first Canadian woman sergeant, as well as 20 Canadian nurses who trained and worked as anaesthetists overseas during the First World War. These stories bring to light the significant and little-known contributions made by a group of Canadian women who broke gender and professional barriers during the war.”

*******

Mélanie Morin-Pelletier, une historienne au Musée canadien de la guerre, « suit le parcours de Maude Blake Holton, qui fut vraisemblablement la première femme sergent au Canada, ainsi que celui de 20 infirmières canadiennes qui ont été formées et qui ont servi comme anesthésistes outre-mer pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces histoires mettent en lumière les contributions considérables et méconnues de Canadiennes qui ont franchi des barrières professionnelles et liées au genre pendant la guerre. »

👏 📣 Félicitations à Monique Milia-Marie-Luce, lauréate du prix du meilleur article Histoire sociale / Social History 2023, pour son article « En quête de domestiques : l’« échec » de l’installation d’une filière guadeloupéenne au Canada (1910-1911) », Histoire sociale / Social History, vol. 55, no. 114 (Novembre 2022), p. 271-299

La citation du Comité du prix :

Au début du XXe siècle, des entrepreneurs québécois voulaient encourager l’immigration des domestiques guadeloupéennes afin de combler un manque criant de cette catégorie de main-d’œuvre dans la province. Dans cette étude remarquable qui considère l’immigration et l’émigration comme deux facettes du même phénomène migratoire, Monique Milla-Marie-Luce explique pourquoi une initiative au début favorablement reçue par les autorités fédérales est finalement entravée par ces dernières en raison d’une nouvelle politique fortement défavorable à l’immigration de Noirs au Canada. L’article se démarque par la rigueur intellectuelle de son argument, par la richesse de ses recherches dans les archives guadeloupéennes et canadiennes et par la haute qualité de son analyse qui explore les rapports entre des facteurs comme sexe, race, classe et intersectionnalité dans un contexte transnational.

👏 📣 Congratulations to Monique Milia-Marie-Luce, winner of the Histoire sociale / Social History 2023 prize, for her article « En quête de domestiques : l’« échec » de l’installation d’une filière guadeloupéenne au Canada (1910-1911) », Histoire sociale / Social History, vol. 55, no. 114 (November 2022) : 271-299.

The Award Committee’s citation:

At the beginning of the twentieth century, Quebec entrepreneurs wanted to encourage the immigration of Guadeloupean domestic servants to fill a glaring shortage of this category of labour in the province. In this remarkable study, which considers immigration and emigration as two facets of the same migratory phenomenon, Monique Milla-Marie-Luce explains why an initiative that was initially favourably received by the federal authorities was ultimately obstructed by them because of a new policy strongly unfavourable to black immigration to Canada. The article stands out for the intellectual rigour of its argument, the richness of its research in Guadeloupean and Canadian archives, and the high quality of its analysis, which explores the relationships between factors such as gender, race, class and intersectionality in a transnational context.

“Certain feminist and non-feminist celebrations of feminism’s legacies risk signifying that the feminist project is completed, thereby foreclosing alternative storytelling and inhibiting future feminist imaginaries. However, believing in the affirmative capacity of reflective and reflexive feminist remembering can help us to confront our own political and affective subjectivities to generate a more intersectional use of feminist memory that harnesses the power of past feminist radicalisms to imagine feminist futures that do not yet exist.”

**********

« Certaines célébrations féministes et non féministes des héritages du féminisme risquent de laisser entendre que le projet féministe est achevé, excluant ainsi des récits alternatifs et inhibant les futurs imaginaires féministes. Cependant, croire en la capacité affirmative de la mémoire féministe réfléchie et réflexive peut nous aider à confronter nos propres subjectivités politiques et affectives à générer une utilisation plus intersectionnelle de la mémoire féministe qui exploite la puissance des radicalismes féministes passés pour imaginer des avenirs féministes qui n’existent pas encore. »

“In the years since its purchase, the “Trust the Women” banner has been transformed from an artefact that few Australians had known about, much less forgotten, into the preeminent symbol of the campaigns that allowed the country’s White settlers to consider themselves the world’s “most fully enfranchised” people.”

« De la fin des années 1960 au milieu de la décennie suivante, une vague de radicalisation secoue les mouvements sociaux du Québec. Le présent article s’intéresse à la dimension syndicale de cette radicalisation à la lumière des réseaux de solidarité intersyndicale entre le Québec et la région de l’Amérique latine et des Caraïbes. Pour ce faire, nous prenons pour objet d’étude le Centre international de solidarité ouvrière (CISO), issu de la conférence du même nom qui eut lieu en juin 1975 à Montréal, et les liens qu’il développa avec des syndicats indépendants du Sud global. L’article démontre que les réseaux de solidarité que le CISO entretint avec l’espace latino-américain entre 1975 et 1984 contribuèrent à la formation politique et idéologique de l’internationalisme syndical au Québec. »

📖 As we are closing on National Indigenous History Month, here is a reading suggestion from our latest issue:

Raymond Miron and Robert Nolan were two of the many Indigenous Peoples who shared their expertise, knowledge, skills, technologies, maps, and travel routes that permeates the records of the Geological Survey of Canada (GSC). In the published reports of the GSC, the many contributions made by Indigenous Peoples, have evaded acknowledgment until now. By “attending to silences in colonial archives and reading between the lines of the GSC’s sources,” Janet Miron uncovers “Indigenous stories and reclaims them from the narratives constructed by White explorers.”

📖 Pour clore le Mois national de l'histoire autochtone, nous vous proposons la lecture d'un article qui vient de paraître dans notre nouveau numéro:

Raymond Miron et Robert Nolan sont deux des nombreux Amérindiens qui ont partagé leur expertise, leurs connaissances, leurs compétences, leurs technologies, leurs cartes et leurs voies de passage, qui sont omniprésents dans les documents de la Commission géologique du Canada (CGC). Dans les rapports publiés par la CGC, les nombreuses contributions des peuples autochtones sont omises. En s’intéressant « aux silences des archives coloniales et en lisant entre les lignes dans les sources de la CGC », Janet Miron « met au jour des histoires autochtones et les récupère à partir des récits construits par les explorateurs Blancs. »

“The early modern Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) built a form of Christianity that was decidedly corporate in its design. Unlike the way Catholicism in the French fur trade was deployed to achieve imperial as well as commercial ends, Christianity in the HBC was positioned exclusively with commerce in mind. This meant it was used not to colonize Indigenous cultures or spaces but to control and protect the company’s overseas resources and support corporate relations in London.”

Félicitations à Susanne Commend, lauréate du prix du meilleur article Histoire sociale / Social History 2022, pour son article « Dévoués ou sacrifiés ? Les parents d’enfants handicapés au Québec : luttes, adaptations, résistances (1940-1960) », Histoire sociale / Social History 54, no. 112 (2021) : 569-589.

L’article sera disponible gratuitement sur

La citation du comité du prix :

Dans une analyse subtile et convaincante, Susanne Commend examine les manières par lesquelles les parents d’enfants handicapés — notamment ceux atteints de paralysie cérébrale — ont travaillé au sein de leurs familles et des organismes de parents pour contrer les conceptions simplistes et exclusivement biomédicales du handicap chez les enfants. La dynamique entre les parents, les travailleurs sociaux et les professionnels de la santé a toujours été complexe, et l’auteure s’appuie sur un éventail de sources, incluant des témoignages, pour montrer que les parents québécois ont eu recours à diverses stratégies pour maintenir une vie familiale humaine et résistante à la domination des impératifs thérapeutiques. L’article enrichit considérablement nos connaissances dans un domaine clé qui réunit l’histoire médicale, l’histoire familiale et l’histoire du handicap.

Congratulations to Jennifer L. Palmer, recipient of the 2021 Histoire sociale / Social History Best Article prize, for her article “‘She persisted in her Revolt’: Between Slavery and Freedom in Saint-Domingue,” 53, no. 107 (2020).

The article will be freely available on Project MUSE for the duration of the year.

Find it here: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/757131

The citation from the Prize committee:

Jennifer L. Palmer, “‘She persisted in her revolt’: Between Slavery and Freedom in Saint-Domingue,” Histoire sociale / Social History 53, no. 107 (2020): 17-41.

"In her admirably crafted study, Jennifer L. Palmer encourages us to think anew about law and social relations in the French plantation colony of Saint-Domingue. At its heart lies the story of one Marie Victoire Morisseau, a woman of colour who fled three times between 1770 and 1772 in an effort to secure her freedom. Yet, this was no ordinary case of a runaway slave. Marie Victoire claimed to be free and local officials even validated this claim in 1774. Ultimately, however, colonial officials rejected this assertion and returned Marie Victoire to her White planter father. Drawing on a careful analysis of a rich array of colonial and French sources, Palmer tellingly positions the legal wrangling over Marie Victoire at the centre of a major shift in colonial administration: the triumph of “documentary” over “social” definitions of freedom. That is, whereas in the earlier decades of the eighteenth century, it was possible for slaves to establish their free status on the basis of their social ties to White society, by mid-century the French state increasingly required valid documentation of free status, for example an appropriate mention in a baptismal record or contract. Marie Victoire’s claims are finally dismissed because while she was assumed to be free, this status lacked documentary confirmation.

To reach this conclusion, itself an important indication of how the French regime in Paris and Versailles strove to impose order on colonial societies, Palmer brilliantly explores the complexities of this latter world, which made the very concept of “socially” established free status possible. The lives of Whites and persons of colour, she reveals, were closely intertwined. Informal unions between White men and women of colour were frequent and even accepted. Marie Victoire’s father, François Morisseau, was unusual in that he formally recognized his children born out of wedlock and even had them baptized. More typically, Palmer stresses, Morisseau had a habit of freeing female slaves to reward them for their valued services to the household, and not merely as mistresses. Herein lay the root not just of Marie Victoire’s problems but also those of many women of colour: such manumissions were only rarely formally documented. Striking a fine balance between nuanced analysis and argumentative clarity, Palmer’s article is also wonderfully humane. She affords the reader glimpses into the lives and emotions of planters and slaves, colonial officials and freed men and women of colour. And far from being a “simple” victim of the slave system, Marie Victoire emerges as an intelligent, resourceful woman with a key understanding of legal practices and bureaucratic procedures. This is, in short, an exemplary piece of historical scholarship that offers a host of new insights into questions of slavery and freedom, colonial regimes, gender and social organization in the eighteenth-century transatlantic world."

The article will be freely available on Project MUSE for the duration of the year: https://muse.jhu.edu/article/725836

The citation from the Prize committee:

"The winner of the 2020 Histoire sociale / Social History Best Article Prize is Sharon Myers for “‘Suffering from a sense of injustice’: Children’s Activism in Liberal State Formation at the Saint John Boys Industrial Home, 1927-1932.” This article considers a brief moment in time when residents of New Brunswick’s main male juvenile detention centre were able to participate in broader societal debates regarding child welfare. They did this through two reports produced by the Canadian Council on Child Welfare on the Saint John Boys Industrial Home, the second of which came in direct response to their protests, a series of violent acts carried out by the boys. While underlining the inconsistencies in the provincial child welfare “system” made obvious by these reports, Myers’s study really shines in its analysis of the boys’ activism and of the effects their actions had on the process of state formation. These children, Myers deftly demonstrates, were able to undercut, if only in limited ways, the power, force, and coercion mobilized by the institution in which they lived and the state that supported it."
