| Summary: | This article studies the possible link between the development of Canada’s early manufacturing enclave and the important immigrant stream from the British Isles in the mid-nineteenth century. Given the strategic position of the Lower Canadian port cities in the triangular flow of labour within the North Atlantic economy, the pattern of growth that ensued can be described as a hybrid form of Lewis’s familiar dualistic model of economic development. L’objectif de ce travail est d’étudier le lien entre le développement d’une enclave industrielle au Canada et le flux d’immigration en provenance des îles Britanniques au milieu du XIXe siècle. En tenant compte de la position stratégique des villes portuaires du Bas-Canada dans le flux de migration transatlantique, l’analyse accorde une importance particulière au pouvoir explicatif d’une forme hybride du modèle dualiste bien connu de Lewis en développement économique. |
