Working Lives: Essays in Canadian Working-Class History

"Heron is a master researcher and synthesizes the social history of workers on the job, as working conditions became more centralized and mechanized, in communities, and in the home."

Laurel Sefton Macdowell, University of Toronto, University of Toronto Quarterly: Letters in Canada 2018

"Craig Heron’s fine-grained exploration of the character, contexts, and complexities of working-class life is unsurpassed, and collectively these essays are a fitting testimony both to the travails and celebrations of working people and to the author’s careful historical scholarship."

James Naylor, Department of History, Brandon University

"No one has done more to apply the methods of the new labour history to the twentieth-century working-class experience than Craig Heron, and few have demonstrated the same strengths of incisive analysis and evocative writing."

David Frank, Department of History, University of New Brunswick
