Title
The Bitter Thirties in Québec
Abstract
[The author] has undertaken to prove incorrect the notion previously widely held that the labour movement militancy associated with modern Quebec was a feature born in the post-World War II period, By examing, through the tradition of oral history, several strikes in the thirties and forties in transportation, textiles and other important industries, and by recording the impressions and feelings of some of the surviving strikers, whether leaders or rank-in-file militants, she captures the mood of the period. --Publisher's description, Translation of: Dans le sommeil de nos os [: quelques grèves au Québec de 1934 à 1944] (1971). Contents: Preface to the English edition (pages 11-14) -- Preface to the French edition (pages 15-18) -- The Basic Picture (pages 19-27) -- The Foreigners' Strike (pages 28-42) -- The Shmata Strikes (pages 43-49) -- The "Bleuets" Strikes (pages 70-77) -- The Tramway Strikes (pages 78-100) -- The Sky Will Be Red Hot (pages 101-127) -- Epilogue (pages 128-130) -- Appendix: The Choice of Conflicts and the Framework of the Study (pages 131-145).
