Canadians often consider the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 to be
the defining event in working-class history after the First World
War. This book, the collaboration of nine labour historians, shows
that the unrest was both more diverse and more widespread across
the country than is generally believed. The authors clarify what
happened in working-class Canada at the end of the war and situate
'the workers' revolt' within the larger structure of Canadian
social, economic, and political history. They argue that, despite a
national pattern, the upsurge of protest took different courses and
faced different obstacles in each region of the country. Their
essays shed light on the extent of the revolt nationally while
retaining a sensitivity to regional distinctiveness. Drawing on the
approaches of social history, this study moves beyond the history
of the strike and union organization that characterizes
conventional labour history, and re-examines what was once called
the 'western revolt.' The Workers' Revolt in Canada combines fresh
archival research with a great body of secondary literature on the
subject to produce a compelling new synthesis, which will be of
great use to teachers and of interest to economists, sociologists,
and historians.
