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.
