Summary:
Canada's largest and most famous example of class conflict, the
Winnipeg
General
Strike
, redefined local, national, and international conversations around class, politics, region, ethnicity, and gender. The
Strike
's centenary occasioned a re-examination of this critical moment in working-class history, when 300 social justice activists, organizers, scholars, trade unionists, artists, and labour rights advocates gathered in
Winnipeg
in 2019. Probing the meaning of the
General
Strike
in new and innovative ways, For a
Better
World
includes a selection from the conference as well as others contributions. Editors Naylor, Hinther, and Mochoruk depict key events of 1919, detailing the dynamic and complex historiography of the
Strike
and the larger
Workers
'
Revolt
that reverberated around the
world
and shaped the century following the war. The chapters delve into intersections of race, class, and gender. Settler colonialism's impact on the conflict is also examined. Placing the struggle in
Winnipeg
within a broader national and international context, several contributors explore parallel strikes in Edmonton, Crowsnest Pass, Montreal, Kansas City, and Seattle. For a
Better
World
interrogates types of commemoration and remembrance, current legacies of the
Strike
, and its ongoing influence. Together, the essays in this collection demonstrate that the
Winnipeg
General
Strike
continues to mobilize--revealing our radical past and helping us to think imaginatively about collective action in the future.
