With lively, informative contributions by both scholars and
activists, Bucking Conservatism highlights the individuals and
groups who challenged Alberta’s conservative status quo in the
60s and 70s. Drawing on archival material, newspaper articles,
police reports, and interviews, the contributors examine
Alberta’s history through the eyes of Indigenous activists
protesting discriminatory legislation and unfulfilled treaty
obligations, women and lesbian and gay persons standing up to the
heteropatriarchy, student activists arguing for a new democracy,
and anti-capitalist environmentalists demanding social change. This
book recognizes the lasting influence of Alberta’s
noncomformists—those who recognized the need for dissent in a
province defined by wealth and right-wing politics—and leaves a
set of questions, perhaps sobering ones, for contemporary
activists.
