Ce texte vise à expliciter l'état des rapports de classe au Québec pendant la période qui va de 1945 à 1967. Centrée sur les rapports entre le pouvoir politique et le mouvement ouvrier, l'analyse ne retient pas la coupure traditionnelle introduite entre le duplessisme et la révolution tranquille. Les variations dans le degré de répression exercé par le pouvoir politique sur le mouvement ouvrier et la force du mouvement ouvrier lui-même permettent de distinguer plutôt cinq moments conjoncturels au cours de cette période. This text is an attempt to make clear the nature of the relationships between classes in Quebec during the period from 1945 to 1967. Focussing on the relations between the government and the labor movement, this analysis discards the traditional notion of the division between Duplessism and the Quiet Revolution. Variations in the degrees of repression applied by the government to the labor movement and the force of the labor movement itself are the criteria used to distinguish five critical stages in this particular period. Este texto pretende mostrar de una manera explicita el estado de las relaciones de clase en Quebec durante el periodo que va de 1945 a 1967. El análisis esta centrado sobre las relaciones entre el poder político y el movimiento obrero ; y él no retiene la separación tradicional introducida entre el duplesismo y la revolución tranquila. Las variaciones en el grado de represión ejercidas por el poder político sobre el movimiento obrero y la fuerza del movimiento obrero permiten de distinguir, más bien, cinco momentos conjunturales en el curso de este periodo.

Globalisation is transforming the world in ways that we are only just beginning to understand. It is often assumed that social movements, such as that of labour, will simply be overwhelmed by these changes. This book carries out a wide-ranging examination of theoretical and practical dimensions of globalisation and the responses of the labour movement to the challenges it poses. Contributors explore the trend towards the globalisation of labour, the influences of globalisation at the sub-global spatial level, and the effects of globalisation in a social dimension. In different ways, from different angles and taking up different positions, all the chapters in Labour and Globalisation can be seen as contributions to the development of a labour-based challenge to the ravages of globalisation. They are, on the whole, neither optimistic nor pessimistic but seek out possibilities as well as establishing limits to labour transnationalism in the era of globalisation.

Living wage activism has spanned time and space, reaching across decades and national boundaries. Conditions generating living wage movements early in the twentieth century have resurfaced in the twenty-first century, only on a global scale: 'sweated' labour, macroeconomic instability, and job insecurity.Upon reviewing the empirical evidence, the book's contributors make strong cases both for and against living wage activism. The effective blend of historical, contemporary, and global perspectives provides opportunities for teachers, scholars, and activists to evaluate how we can address l

Raymond Carver's fiction is widely known for its careful documentation of lower-middle-class North America in the 1970s and 80s. Building upon the realist understanding of Carver's work, Raymond Carver's Chronotope uses a central concept of Bakhtin's novelistics to formulate a new context for understanding the celebrated author's minimalist fiction. G. P. Lainsbury describes the critical reception of Carver's work and stakes out his own intellectual and imaginative territory by arguing that Carver's fiction can be understood as diffuse, fragmentary, and randomly ordered.
