    The Vancouver Hunger March of 1932: Explaining a Third Period Success by Jean-Francois Maxwell B.A. (History) Thompson Rivers University 2012 A Report Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts in the Graduate Academic Unit of History Supervisor: Gregory Kealey, PhD, Dept. of History Examining Board: David Charters, PhD, Chair, Dept. of History Jeff Brown, PhD, Dept. of History David Frank, PhD, Dept. of History This report is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK August 2013 ©Jean-Francois Maxwell, 2013 Abstract On 25 February 1932 some 6000 protestors descended on Vancouver for a “Hunger March” organized by the Communist Party of Canada (CPC) to demonstrate for better conditions for workers, both employed and unemployed, across the nation. Although Hunger Marches were organized throughout Canada, Vancouver’s march was by far the largest and certainly the most successful. This study presents a thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding the Hunger March and explains what made the event such a unique success in this city. The event’s success derives from the Vancouver CPC ‘s ability to take advantage of the large mass of transients who came into the city in the early part of the Great Depression and then to funnel their discontent into mass agitation. The following study shows how the Hunger March is symbolic of the Vancouver CPC’s revolutionary pragmatism during the Third Period, ii Acknowledgements In this space I wish to thank the History faculty at Thompson Rivers University, and the University of New Brunswick, particularly Gregory S.

  • Putting the State on Trial
    Edited by Margaret E. Beare, Nathalie Des Rosiers, and Abigail C. Deshman PUTTING THE STATE ON TRIAL The Policing of Protest during the G20 Summit Sample Material © 2015 UBC Press Law and Society Series W. Wesley Pue, General Editor The Law and Society Series explores law as a socially embedded phenomenon. It is premised on the understanding that the conventional division of law from society creates false dichotomies in thinking, scholarship, educational practice, and social life. Books in the series treat law and society as mutually constitutive and seek to bridge scholarship emerging from interdisciplinary engagement of law with disciplines such as politics, social theory, history, political economy, and gender studies. For a complete list of titles in the series, go to www.ubcpress.ca. Recent titles in the series include: Dale Brawn, Paths to the Bench: The Judicial Appointment Process in Manitoba, 1870-1950 (2014) Dominique Clément, Equality Deferred: Sex Discrimination and British Columbia’s Human Rights State, 1953-84 (2014) Irvin Studin, The Strategic Constitution: Understanding Canadian Power in the World (2014) Elizabeth A.
