Saint-Laurent, Montreal's Main

by Pierre Anctil

Overview

Examining the incomparable “Main,” or Saint-Laurent Boulevard, that crosses the heart of Montreal from north to south, this book explores how it has been a gateway for immigrants and the place where “solitudes” have met. With analysis of the many social and cultural movements that were born on the Main, the volume shows how they continue to thrive and influence Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and beyond.
