British Columbia was the site of some of the most significant events in the history of the labour movement and had some of the best-organized and most politically conscious communist workers. In this illuminating volume, Jon Bartlett follows the activities of BC Communists from the onset of the Great Depression to the coming of the Popular Front and investigates the collisions between these Communists and the organs of the federal, provincial, and municipal governments. Reflecting on the vectors of cultural resistance, from the creation of vernacular newspapers to the circulation of popular song and verse, Bartlett charts workers' efforts to resist wage cutbacks in mines, mills, and the logging and fishing industries and describes the organization of opposition to the relief camps and its outcomes.

The emergence, dominance, and alarmingly rapid retreat of modernist industrial capitalism on Cape Breton Island during the "long twentieth century" offers a particularly captivating window on the lasting and varied effects of deindustrialization. Now, at the tail end of the industrial moment in North American history, the story of Cape Breton Island presents an opportunity to reflect on how industrialization and deindustrialization have shaped human experiences. Covering the period between 1860 and the early 2000s, this volume looks at trade unionism, state and cultural responses to deindustrialization, including the more recent pivot towards the tourist industry, and the lived experiences of Indigenous and Black people. Rather than focusing on the separate or distinct nature of Cape Breton, contributors place the island within broad transnational networks such as the financial world of the Anglo-Atlantic, the Celtic music revival, the Black diaspora, Canadian development programs, and more. In capturing the vital elements of a region on the rural resource frontier that was battered by deindustrialization, the histories included here show how the interplay of the state, cultures, and transnational connections shaped how people navigated these heavy pressures, both individually and collectively.

La Fédération des travailleurs et travailleuses duNouveau-Brunswick, fondée en 1913, est la deuxième plus anciennefédération provinciale du travail au Canada. Son histoire remonte auxpremières campagnes en faveur de l'indemnisation des accidents dutravail et de la reconnaissance syndicale, et elle se poursuit dans lesplus récentes luttes visant à défendre les normes sociales et àprotéger les emplois et les droits syndicaux. La Fédération a vu lejour dans la ville portuaire de Saint John et le centre ferroviaire deMoncton, puis elle s'est étendue aux travailleurs des mines etdes usines du nord de la province, soutenant la cause des employés dusecteur public et des travailleuses, reflétant les réalités de la vieet du travail dans une société bilingue. Puisant dans les archives, lesjournaux et les propres expériences des travailleurs et destravailleuses, voici l'histoire inédite de solidarités syndicalesprovinciales qui ont surmonté les divisions et les revers afin derehausser le statut des travailleurs et des travailleuses dans lasociété néo-brunswickoise. Par cette étude pionnière rédigée dans unstyle clair et puissant, Frank apporte une contribution originale à lacompréhension de l'évolution politique, économique et sociale dela province, et il aide à combler le besoin d'éclairer laconnaissance que le public a de l'histoire des travailleurs etdes syndicats de toutes les régions du Canada.
