  • Labour History and the Interlocking Hierarchies of Class, Ethnicity, and Gender: a Canadian Perspective*
    International Review of Social History 44 (1999), pp. 197–215 1999 Internationaal Instituut voor Sociale Geschiedenis SUGGESTIONS AND DEBATES Labour History and the Interlocking Hierarchies of Class, Ethnicity, and Gender: A Canadian Perspective* R UTH A. FRAGER ‘‘No nation is supposed to be so advanced as the British nation, no race so progressive as the white’’, declared Cotton’s Weekly, the newspaper of the Social Democratic Party of Canada. ‘‘BUT HERE IN TORONTO NO CHINESE, NO HINDOOS, NO JAPS, NO INDIANS, NO BLACKS, NO FOREIGNERS NEED BE IMPORTED. WHITE GIRLS AND MEN OF BRITISH BIRTH BREAK THE STRIKES.’’1 It was 1911. The newspaper was commenting on strike-breaking by ‘‘white’’ workers during a strike at a Toronto garment factory where male and female Jews had walked out. The newspaper compared this with cases out West: ‘‘In British Columbia when miners rise up in rebellion against the shameful conditions, Chinese are brought into the mines. In this and other western provinces, Japs, Hindoos, and Indians fill the places of the white toilers because they live on cheaper food and under such intolerable conditions no white people can stand it.’’2 Focusing on the Toronto strike, the newspaper’s disgust with those who refused to join ‘‘strikers who are brave enough to struggle for human treat- ment’’3 centred on the cutters, who were skilled Anglo-Celtic males, and on the Anglo-Celtic female strike-breakers. ‘‘Craft Unionism was shown up as selfish’’, declared the paper, not only because these cutters scabbed but also because English-speaking men from other craft unions refused the Jewish strikers’ request to try to persuade the cutters to join the strike.4 Women * I thank Lynne Marks, Carmela Patrias, and Don Wells for all their help.

Pp. 204. Paper, $6.95. Romantic nationalism has been the major ingredient of the few Cana­ dian historical work1; which have appealed to popular audiences. There can be little doubt that the attractiveness of the Laurentian syn­ thesis of Donald Creighton, for example, lay in its proud story of na­ tion building. When he and his generation of Canadian historians turned their pens away from the country's economic development which figured so prominently in their work in the 1930s, they reiterated the sar:ne theme through larger than life biographical studies of the men who embodied the national ideal. If the period before 1960 was a time for national celebration, the years which have followed have been decades of significant reassessment. This has been particularly true in Canadian historical writing where the Laurentian thesis has been subjected to withering critiques. Social history has provided one vantage point from which the elegance of Creightonian history seems more wishful than factual. Within social history, studies of the Canadian working class question have been particularly prominent in questioning the older synthesis.

  • The Perpetuation of the Rural Ideal at the Wellington County Museum and Archives
    Exhibition and Ideology: The Perpetuation of the Rural Ideal at the Wellington County Museum and Archives by Robyn Graham A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Robyn Graham, May, 2013 ABSTRACT Exhibition and Ideology: The Perpetuation of the Rural Ideal at the Wellington County Museum and Archives Robyn Graham Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Professor Alan Gordon This thesis is an analysis of the rural ideal as it resonates through exhibition at local county museums in southern Ontario. This study brings attention to the potential for museums to perpetuate the rural ideal through the manner in which they frame artifacts and create historical displays. Through a combination of a through historiography which features public history, museums, and rural history, this thesis argues that museums work in a similar manner as text or images to identify with an ideology. Utilizing the Wellington County Museum and Archives as a case study, exhibits of the institution are deconstructed to demonstrate their association with the ideal and the potential influence this may possess on audiences. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank the Archivist, Karen Wagner, and the entire staff at the Wellington County Museum and Archives for taking the time to help me search through their extensive collection. There were many days when I would walk into the building and have no idea what I was looking for. On those days, I relied heavily on the staff that took an interest in my research and listened intently as I tried to explain what my thesis was and use their extensive knowledge of the archives to figure out which materials would aid in my search – subsequently pushing out cart after cart of boxes for me to sift through.

  • Introduction: Canadian Tourism History
    Introduction: Canadian Tourism History BEN BRADLEY and J. I. LITTLE* REFLECTING the fact that tourism has been the world’s fastest growing industry in recent decades, the relatively new field of tourism history is expanding rapidly.1 In doing so, it has moved well beyond the traditional top-down focus on major industrial and institutional players such as transcontinental railway companies and government agencies to examine topics such as “popular” (or non-elite) tourist practices, the role played by small-scale entrepreneurialism, tourism’s effects on rural areas and small towns, and its complicated environmental consequences. There is still no general history of tourism in Canada, however, and this is the first collection of articles dedicated to the subject.2 These articles originated with a workshop held in Vancouver in October 2014. It was funded by a SSHRC Connections grant as well as Simon Fraser University, with the assistance of the Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE). Titled “Landscape, Nature, and Memory: Tourism History in Canada,” the workshop had a largely cultural and social focus, though every presentation reminded us that tourism is a business with a long economic history. The papers selected for this publication also demonstrate how tourism history now draws from other emergent fields including environmental history, commemoration studies, and mobility studies. This collection has a broad temporal and geographic range, and its themes include * Ben Bradley, Grant Notley Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of History & Classics at the University of Alberta, and Jack Little, professor emeritus in the Department of History at Simon Fraser University, are the guest editors of this issue of Histoire sociale / Social History.
