Simon, Sherry2008-08-292008-08-292003International Journal of Canadian Studies, 27: 107-1191180-3991http://hdl.handle.net/10315/1448St. Michael's Church in the Mile End district of Montreal offers a rich example of cultural hybridity. A close reading of the architecture and social history of the church suggests, however, the complexity of the elements and values of cultural mixing and the need for careful contextualization. The article argues that, if the term hybridity is to be useful, its parameters must be continually redefined.enQuebecMontrealCultural ContactCultural MixingMultilingualismCultural ChangeIrish -- MontrealArticle
