'The New Democracy displays almost all the scholarly virtues. It is an immensely well informed study, whose value is enhanced both by its meticulous scholarly apparatus and by a brief, but valuable, guide to the numerous primary and secondary sources upon which it is based. Yet it wears its learning lightly and, unlike so much institutional labour history, it is extremely well written.' -- John Benson Labor History Review 'Overall Naylor has written a very good book that skillfully integrates labour, gender, capital and the state.' -- Greg Patmore Labour History Naylor's book provides us with a valuable point of departure from which the politics of class in Canada can be reassessed. American Historical Review 'James Naylor has provided an intelligent and attractive fusion of the old and new approaches to studying Canada's working class. For this reason if no other (and there are many others), New Democracy deserves to be read.' -- David Bright left history 'Naylor's book not only helps us understand a critical juncture in the development of class relations; his analysis also begins to suggest a direction for the future development of an oppositional working-class movement.' -- Eric Tucker Canadian Journal of Law and Society
