What Is Labour's Stake: Workers and the History of Environmentalism in Alberta
Although counterintuitive for many academics and lay people alike, the Canadian environmental movement has long included significant engagement from organized labour. More surprising, perhaps, the most dedicated labour environmentalists came from unions representing workers in the auto, steel, mining, chemical, and oil industries. This was certainly the case in Alberta during the 1970s. There, the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers (ocaw) used thei…
A Bigoted, Prejudiced, Hateful Little Area”: The Making of an All-White Suburb in the Deep North
This article traces the history of Edina, Minnesota, a community just outside of Minneapolis, following its transformation from an interracial farming village in the late nineteenth century to a racially exclusive and prejudice-ridden “streetcar” suburb by the 1930s. It also looks at the ordeal experienced by the first black family to move to the area, in 1960, demonstrating the challenges faced by the “open housing” movement in what is known as …

Civil Disobedience: An American Tradition
Mark Fiege. The Republic of Nature: An Environmental History of the United States. James Morton Turner. The Promise of Wilderness: American Environmental Politics since 1964
First proposed by Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge in 1972, the theory of “punctuated equilibrium” holds that evolutionary change tends to happen rapidly at rare moments rather than gradually and steadily through the ages. Looking at the earth's fossil record, the two scientists found long periods of species stasis interrupted by comparatively brief moments of species divergence, what others (meaning to be funny) later called “evolution by je…

From Dairy Farms to Housing Tracts: Environment and Race in the Making of a Memphis Suburb
Focusing on changing land use in a Memphis suburb, this article examines the displacement of dairy farms by housing tracts during the twentieth century as well as the pollution of a local waterway by chemical production wastes. It also investigates the ways in which race shaped evolving residential patterns, determined exposure to environmental hazards, and influenced the activism that developed in response to these problems. This part of the his…

Grasping at Independence: Debt, Male Authority, and Mineral Rights in Appalachian Kentucky, 1850-1915
Appalachia s economic transformation from farms to coalfields has been previously analyzed from divergent viewpoints. Robert Weise now offers a new understanding of preindustrial Appalachia and its transition to industrial capitalism, reconstructing the social and economic behavior of local residents to show how the circumstances that defined the region s household economy also predisposed it to exploitation. Examining economic marginalization, h…
