History and memory in gentrifying St-Henri Student Showcase
Over the course of the last few months, undergraduate History students at Concordia enrolled in the “History and Memory in Gentrifying Saint-Henri” course have been thinking through the brutal processes of deindustrialization and gentrification in the St-Henri neighbourhood in Montreal.
Protesting coal miners at the Friedrich Heinrich/Rheinland colliery in the town of Kamp-Lintfort in March 1997. There was a wave of miners' protests in Winter and Spring 1996/97 as the German Federal Government planned to cut subsidies which would have meant a loss of 60,000 jobs in less than ten years. The banner in front says "We want a perspective for our future". Photo: Betriebsrat Bergwerk West. New Perspectives on Deindustrialization Roundtables
