Beginning with an exploration of emigrant expectations and ambitions, he investigates working conditions, household wages, racism, industrial organization, gender, schooling, leisure, community building, and the fluid identity of the British mining colony, the archetypal west coast proletariat. By connecting the story of Vancouver Island to the larger story of Victorian industrialization, he delineates what was distinctive and what was common about the lot of the settler society. Belshaw breaks new ground, challenging the easy assumptions of transferred British political traditions, analyzing the colonial at the household level, and revealing the emergent communities of Vancouver Island as the cradle of British Columbian working-class culture. 410 0$aMcGill-Queen's studies in ethnic history.$nSeries two. 606 $aWorking class$zBritish Columbia$zVancouver Island$xHistory 606 $aCoal miners$zBritish Columbia$zVancouver Island$xHistory 606 $aBritish$zBritish Columbia$zVancouver Island$xHistory 606 $aCoal mines and mining$xSocial aspects$zBritish Columbia$zVancouver Island$xHistory 606 $aEthnology$zBritish Columbia$zVancouver Island 607 $aVancouver Island (B.C.)$xHistory 615 0$aWorking class$xHistory. 615 0$aCoal miners$xHistory. 615 0$aBritish$xHistory. 615 0$aCoal mines and mining$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aEthnology 676 $a971.1/203 700 $aBelshaw$b John Douglas$01678194 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823277003321 996 $aColonization and community$94045631 997 $aUNINA
