Travelling in Time to Cape Breton Island in the 1920S: Protest Songs, Murals and Island Identity
Travelling in Time to Cape Breton Island in the 1920s: Protest Songs, Murals and Island Identity Richard MacKinnon and Lachlan MacKinnon Abstract Islands are places that foster a unique sense of place-attachment and com- munity identity among their populations. Scholarship focusing on the dis- tinctive values, attitudes and perspectives of ‘island people’ from around the world reveals the layers of meaning that are attached to island life. Lowenthal writes: ‘Islands are fantasized as antitheses of the all-engrossing gargantuan mainstream-small, quiet, untroubled, remote from the busy, crowded, turbu- lent everyday scene. In reality, most of them are nothing like that. …’1 Islands, for many people, are ‘imagined places’ in our increasingly globalised world; the perceptions of island culture and reality often differ. Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, in eastern North America, a locale with a rich history of class struggle surrounding its former coal and steel industries, provides an excellent case study for the ways that local history, collective memory and cultural expression might combine to combat the ‘untroubled fantasy’ that Lowenthal describes. History and methodology Coal mining has been an essential part of Cape Breton Island’s landscape since the early-eighteenth century. A steel mill was constructed in Sydney, the island’s largest city, in 1899; this steel plant provided employment for many of the island’s inhabitants throughout the twentieth century. Grid-patterned streets, dotted with company-owned homes, formed around the industrial workplaces in many Cape Breton communities. It was in these communities, from the people employed in the coal mines and steel mill, that distinctive traditions of work and leisure began to emerge. -
One Reason Why Complete Victory Eluded the Social Gospellers Is
172 HISTOIRE SOCIALE - SOCIAL HISTORY One reason why complete victory eluded the Social Gospellers is uncon sciously presented in these papers - the fact that their backgrounds and their opin ions were overwhelmingly bourgeois. With the exception of Fred Tipping, the reformers of The Social Gospel in Canada all came from middle class families active in Methodism or Presbyterianism. This created a gulf between themselves and the working class they wanted so earnestly to help, a gulf they were never able to cross. Beatrice Brigden, for example, concludes her presentation by stating proudly that she has never been found in "a beer parlour, a cocktail lounge, in a pool room or a dance hall, at a hockey match or a baseball game" - the very places the people she wanted to save probably frequented ! Harold Allen says noth ing about improving the living or working conditions of the "migrant type" farm workers he encountered at Chilliwack, B.C. Instead he reports that when he heard that "a cheap brothel" had been set up near the workers' camp, he succeeded in having "the authorities" shut down what was probably the men's principal source of recreation ! Although the concluding section "Contemporary Scholarship" lacks the fascination of "Living History," the papers are useful and competent. Marilyn Barber outlines the work of Protestant Churches among East-European immigrants, pointing to the role the Social Gospel played in encouraging the churches to take up the task of assimilation. J.R. Kidd's "The Social Gospel and Adult Education" speculates about a relationship between the two, without demonstrating that it actually existed. -

CLOSING SYSCO Industrial Decline in Atlantic Canada's Steel City
CLOSING SYSCO Industrial Decline in Atlantic Canada’s Steel City Lachlan MacKinnon Closing Sysco presents a history of deindustrialization and working-class resistance in the Cape Breton steel industry between 1945 and 2001. The Sydney Steel Works is at the heart of this story, having existed in tandem with Cape Breton’s larger coal operations since the early twentieth century. The book explores the multifaceted nature of deindustrialization; the internal politics of the steelworkers’ union; the successful efforts to nationalize the mill in 1967; the years in transition under public ownership; and the confrontations over health, safety, and environmental degradation in the 1990s and 2000s. Closing Sysco moves beyond the moment of closure to trace the cultural, historical, and political ramifications of deindustrialization that continue to play out in post-industrial Cape Breton Island. A significant intervention into the international literature on deindustrialization, this study pushes scholarship beyond the bounds of political economy and cultural change to begin tackling issues of bodily health, environment, and historical memory in post-industrial places. The experiences of the men and women who were displaced by the decline and closure of Sydney Steel are central to this book. Featuring interviews with former steelworkers, office employees, managers, politicians, and community activists, these one-on-one conversations reveal both the human cost of industrial closure and the lingering after-effects of deindustrialization. (Studies in Atlantic Canada History) lachlan mackinnon is an assistant professor in the Department of Humanities at Cape Breton University. STUDIES IN ATLANTIC CANADA HISTORY Editors: John G. Reid and Peter L. Twohig This monograph series focuses on the history of Atlantic Canada, inter- preting the scope of this field in a way that is deliberately inclusive and accommodating. -

Desce·ndants of John Stansbury of Leominster 1670=1895 PREF,ACE. :Mr. Paul Bourget laughs at the Americans, because they desire to know who were their grandfathers. Let him laugh. The desire is the indication of a wish to escape the unrest of American life. All intelligent people instinctively feel that, in a world where every thing changes-residence, fortune, occupation, friends-one thing can not change, namely, one's place in the social organization as shown by one's birth and family connections. ~or is the knowl edge of one's family any less important in ,t republic than whern rank is recognized. frdeed; it is in a sense more important. Its prospective is even greater than its present utility; and, if the record is not now made up, while the country is still young, while the traditions of the elders are fresh in our recollection and the ramifications of relationship are not yet too multiplied to be man ageable, the origin of American families must be forever lost to those who come after us. Especially are we concerned to know how om lifo is connected with the life of the nations from which our n,ncCJstors emigrated, n,nc1_ ,vhat is the precise admixture of blood in our hereLlitary composition. The interest in genertlogicoJ re search, unde1· existing corn1itions, in the United States, is therefore not only n11turnl but commendable. -

But he does so as a contrast to the creation of a Canadian vice-presidency in 1912— evidence, he claims, of the brotherhood between Canadian and American members and their love of the Old Country (pp. 75-76). The chronological inconsistency between these two examples does not hold up well. It comes across as a serious mistake, given that during McLaughlin’s chapter on the Great War he goes on to discuss the same wartime schism between the two branches of the aoh (pp. 83-84). Greater attention to minor chronological inconsistencies might make the book a more seamless piece of scholarship. Irish Canadian Conflict and the Struggle for Irish Independence is full of good information and compelling stories. -

In conversation with forty-five first- and second-generation Russian intellectuals who relocated from Russia and the former Soviet Union, the researcher investigates transnational Russian identity through ethnographic, auto-ethnographic, and visual anthropology methods. Educated migrants from Russia who shared with the researcher a comparable epistemic universe and experiential perspective, and who were themselves experts on migration, discuss what it means to belong to global transnational diasporas, how they position themselves in historical contexts of migration, and what they hope to contribute to modern intellectual migrant narratives. -
Local Government in the Cape Breton Coal Towns, 1917-1926*
Company Town/Labour Town: Local Government in the Cape Breton Coal Towns, 1917-1926* by David FRANK** In the early years of the twentieth century the northeast coast of Cape Breton Island was a booming industrial frontier. The coal and steel in dustries of this district played a large part in the Canadian economy, and in Cape Breton County they created the most dynamic industrial com munity in the Maritime Provinces. Although the roots of industry reached back to the 1820s, unprecedented growth took place from the 1890s to the 1910s. The population of the coal district more than tripled and by 1921 included more than 40,000 people. The newly-arrived Dominion Coal and Nova Scotia Steel and Coal Companies built steel plants, opened collieries, created new settlements and expanded old ones. 1 The influence of the coal companies on the life of the coal industry was pervasive. It was often echoed in local place-names. Communities such as Dominion and Dominion No. 6 were named for the collieries of the Dominion Coal Company. In New Waterford streets were named in honour of company directors J. H. Plummer, Sir Henry Pellatt and E. R. Wood. Most importantly, the coal companies enjoyed great economic power in the mining district. As the only important employers in the coal towns, they dominated the local labour market. In Glace Bay in 1930 the Dominion Coal Company employed two-thirds of the male work force. Furthermore, as the owners of company stores and company houses, the coal companies were also powerful merchants and landlords. -
Robert Graves the White Goddess
ROBERT GRAVES THE WHITE GODDESS IN DEDICATION All saints revile her, and all sober men Ruled by the God Apollo's golden mean— In scorn of which I sailed to find her In distant regions likeliest to hold her Whom I desired above all things to know, Sister of the mirage and echo. It was a virtue not to stay, To go my headstrong and heroic way Seeking her out at the volcano's head, Among pack ice, or where the track had faded Beyond the cavern of the seven sleepers: Whose broad high brow was white as any leper's, Whose eyes were blue, with rowan-berry lips, With hair curled honey-coloured to white hips. Green sap of Spring in the young wood a-stir Will celebrate the Mountain Mother, And every song-bird shout awhile for her; But I am gifted, even in November Rawest of seasons, with so huge a sense Of her nakedly worn magnificence I forget cruelty and past betrayal, Careless of where the next bright bolt may fall. FOREWORD am grateful to Philip and Sally Graves, Christopher Hawkes, John Knittel, Valentin Iremonger, Max Mallowan, E. M. Parr, Joshua IPodro, Lynette Roberts, Martin Seymour-Smith, John Heath-Stubbs and numerous correspondents, who have supplied me with source- material for this book: and to Kenneth Gay who has helped me to arrange it. Yet since the first edition appeared in 1946, no expert in ancient Irish or Welsh has offered me the least help in refining my argument, or pointed out any of the errors which are bound to have crept into the text, or even acknowledged my letters. -

I’m a poet (And you c’ud mak allowances for that!) “Second Hymn to Lenin” (1932)1 Hugh MacDiarmid has never enjoyed the canonical status his acolytes consider his due. Those acolytes have dwindled in number since the 1970s and ’80s, and, as the end of the second decade of the twenty-first century approaches, there is scant evidence of live interest in the poet’s achievement anywhere in the world, least of all his native Scotland. One reason for this is that MacDiarmid, as Seamus Heaney ruefully remarked, “gave his detractors plenty to work with”;2 quite apart from indulging in cultural and political opining sufficiently provocative for the public at large to dismiss him as a crank, he published a dismaying amount of slipshod and even banal verse, mainly in his later years. -
