This collection of seventeen essays provides a generous introduction to the vibrant
field of labour and working-class history in Canada's eastern provinces. Organized
in four sections covering pre-industrial labour, the industrial revolution, labour's
wars of the early twentieth century, and the rise of industrial legality, the book
should prove useful in university classrooms and for all readers interested in the
history of the region's ordinary people. Concluding chapters address topics of current
interest such as public sector unionism, the role of women in the fishery, and the
horrors of the Westray mine disaster. The editors provide an introduction, section
heads, and suggestions for further reading.
The volume is edited by David Frank, Department of History, University of New Brunswick,
the former editor of Acadiensis, and Gregory S. Kealey, Department of History,
Memorial University of Newfoundland, Dean of Graduate Studies. Authors
include T.W. Acheson, Rusty Bittermann, Sean Cadigan, Jessie Chisholm, M. Patricia
Connelly, Peter DeLottinville, E.R. Forbes, Eugene A. Forsey, Harry Glasbeek, Linda
Little, Martha MacDonald, Robert McIntosh, Ian McKay, D.A. Muise, Nolan Reilly, Eric
W. Sager, Anthony Thomson, and Eric Tucker.
