The Speech Bill Pritchard Never Gave
The Speech Bill Pritchard Never Gave James Naylor and Tom Mitchell A half-century after his 1920 trial and conviction for seditious conspiracy, William Arthur Pritchard was invited by the "faculty and student body" of the University of Winnipeg to return to the city to tell his story of the dramatic legal aftermath of the Winnipeg General Strike. The talk never took place, however, because "the keeper of the money bags" at the university "had cut…

Summary for Policymakers
This Summary for Policymakers presents key findings from the Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX). The SREX approaches the topic by assessing the scientific literature on issues that range from the relationship between climate change and extreme weather and climate events ("climate extremes") to the implications of these events for society and sustainable development. The…
When the State Trembled: How A.J. Andrews and the Citizens' Committee Broke the Winnipeg General Strike
The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919, which involved approximately 30,000 workers, is Canada's best-known strike. When the State Trembled recovers the hitherto untold story of the Citizens' Committee of 1000, formed by Winnipeg's business elite in order to crush the revolt and sustain the status quo.This account, by the authors of the award-winning Walk Towards the Gallows, reveals that the Citizens drew upon and extended a wide repertoire of anti…
Avoiding Repetition: Time for CBA to Engage with the Livelihoods Literature
The rapid pace at which the climate change agenda is permeating wide-ranging arenas of established development practice and theory leaves little space and time for reflection on the implications this has for learning across agendas and literatures. 'Adaptation' is a term that is increasingly reserved for processes that build the resilience of households, communities and sectors to changes in the climate. But, 'adaptation' always has, and arguably…
Defining a Future Research Agenda on Pro-Poor Adaptation
Entrenchment or Enhancement: Could Climate Change Adaptation Help to Reduce Chronic Poverty
In the context of climate change, the poorest people are commonly seen as having the least capacity to adapt. However, to date, there has been a limited examination of the dynamic and differentiated nature of poverty. Through bringing together both the chronic poverty and adaptation literature, this article presents a new pro-poor adaptation research agenda underpinned by a more nuanced understanding of poverty. Whilst recognising that poverty re…
Adaptive Social Protection’: Synergies for Poverty Reduction
Global processes and crises are changing and deepening the risks already faced by poor and vulnerable people in rural areas, particularly those involved in agriculture and other ecosystemdependent livelihoods. Reliance on subsistence agriculture means the impact of stresses and shocks (such as droughts or floods) are felt keenly by rural poor people, who depend directly on food system outcomes for their survival. This has profound implications fo…
Introduction: Building the Case for Pro-Poor Adaptation
The Roles of Children and Youth in Communicating Disaster Risk
Disaster management is dominated by top-down relief efforts that assume children and youth are passive victims with no role in communicating risks or preventing and responding to disasters. This article challenges these assumptions and critically assesses prevailing theoretical models of risk communication using two case studies that highlight the unique needs and potential roles of children and youth as resources or receivers of disaster managem…
Island disaster para-diplomacy in the Commonwealth
This paper presents a first exploration into disaster para-diplomacy for sub-national island territories, conceptualizing the notion and its actual execution. Following a brief theoretical background, an overview of the legal parameters and actual practices is provided by means of case studies in island disaster para-diplomacy drawn from the Commonwealth. De facto instances of island disaster para-diplomacy occur, but opportunities for using it a…

Canadian Marxists and the Search for a Third Way
Prairie Fire Fizzles
WHAT COULD REASONABLY be asked of film produced in 1999 on the Winnipeg General Strike? It should reflect the current state of the historiography; should be sensitive to the discourse deployed by the participants in the strike and those who commented in 1919 and later — including historians; should invite the viewer to approach the strike with an open yet analytical perspective; and finally should avoid simple-minded narratives, gratuitous assess…

"Repressive Measures": A.J. Andrews, the Committee of 1000 and the Campaign Against Radicalism after the Winnipeg General Strike
Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
"From the Social Gospel to "The Plain Bread of Leninism: A.E. Smith's Journey to the Left in the Epoch of Reaction after World War I
A.E. Smith was a central figure in the Communist Party from the mid-1920s until his death in 1947. An advocate of the radical Social Gospel until at least 1923, Smith's interchange with leading members of the Canadian Communist movement, the growing prestige of the Soviet State, and his disillusionment with the social democratic movement in Canada and abroad, combined during the post-war epoch of reaction to cause a shift in his perspective away …
Comparisons of Paranormal Beliefs of Black and White University Students from the Southern United States
Paranormal beliefs of 250 black and 208 white university students from the Southern United States were compared on the Paranormal Belief Scale. This sample of black students reported significantly greater belief than the sample of white students in Superstition, Witchcraft, Spiritualism, and Precognition. The white students showed significantly greater Traditional Religious Belief and belief in Extraordinary Life Forms. However, notwithstanding t…
Paranormal Beliefs in Late-Adulthood
71 members of a retirees' group ( M age = 68 yr.) in northern Louisiana completed the Paranormal Belief Scale. The elder sample showed significantly less belief than a university student comparison group on Psi, Witchcraft, Superstition, Spiritualism, Extraordinary Life Forms, and Precognition. Findings probably reflect both generational and developmental processes
