Title
To The Dartmouth Station: A Worker's Eye View of Labour History
Abstract
Satirical piece that purports to be an edited transcript of a conversation between a Halifax dockworker and a Dartmouth construction worker. The authors (who pose as editors) claim that the conversation was surreptiously taped at a Dartmouth tavern in 1975 for a psychological study of Nova Scotian language use, including swearing. The parody is larded with references to labour history and the works of labour historians.
