Essays in Northwestern Ontario Working Class History: Thunder Bay and its Environs by Michel S. Beaulieu

The articles collected in this book examine the history of the working class from the late nineteenth century to the firm establishment of unions in Northwestern Ontario, in particular the Thunder Bay region, during the late twentieth century.

This book brings together previously published and new works from a cross-section of established and young scholars working in the allied fields of history, Finnish studies, sociology, and Canadian studies; it explores the substance of working class history in the region and the degree to which it is linked to broader and comparative developments while, at the same time, being rooted in the area.
