The Violence of Work: New Essays in Canadian and US Labour History

"I applaud the editors’ decision to take the long-view and bring this history right up to the present time. One gets a strong sense here of the continuity in violence."

Steven High, Concordia University, Labour/Le Travail

"The contributors’ examples of violence are heart-rending, convincing, and extremely diverse."

James Naylor, Brandon University, Histoire sociale / Social History

"In analysing the connections between gender, work, and violence and the everyday violence used and experienced by workers on the job, Jeremy Milloy and Joan Sangster have made a valuable contribution to the field. The scholarship is sound and contemporary, and this excellent collection adds an especially timely analysis to sexual harassment during the current #MeToo movement."

Thomas Alter II, Department of History, Texas State University

"The Violence of Work is a unique collection of essays. Its thematic organizing principles and inclusion of recent and relevant events in both US and Canadian societies represent a strong contribution to the field."

James Barrett, Department of History, University of Illinois
