Through their continuing activism on issues from the politics of timber licenses to global questions of war and peace, these workers bridged the transition from an Old to a New Left.</p><p>In the late 1950s, half of B.C.s workers belonged to unions, but the promise of postwar collective bargaining spawned disillusionment tied to inflation and automation. A new working class that was educated, white collar, and increasingly rebellious shifted the locus of activism from the Communist Party and Co-operative Commonwealth Federation to the newly formed New Democratic Party, which was elected in 1972. Grounded in archival research and oral history, <em>Militant Minority</em> provides a valuable case study of one of the most organized and independent working classes in North America, during a period of ideological tension and unprecedented material advance.</p>...3995846Militant Minority711987https://www.gandhi.com.mx/militant-minority-9781442661882/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2993064/823264f7-e85a-47f7-b973-8c59cf6435f5.jpg?v=638384733938600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20119781442661882_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_<p><em>Militant Minority</em> tells the compelling story of British Columbia workers who sustained a left tradition during the bleakest days of the Cold War.
