Description

This article examines the culturally particular and gendered ways in which Jewish immigrant women in the garment industry negotiated their new Canadian urban environments by participating in labour protest, indicating how the site of the strike was one structured by gender and ethnicity as well as by class. Canada's urban space both facilitated immigrant women's integration into society by enabling their interaction with Canadian political and economic structures and encouraged their retention of culturally particular ways of life by providing sites and spaces for politically charged gatherings that not only reinforced these workers' ethnic traditions but also put their status as militant women on public display. These women strikers' accommodation and resistance to Canadian society was also affected by Anglo Canadians' representations of them, by shifting unionization tactics--from radical to conservative--and by social constructions of gender, ethnicity, and class. Cet article examine les moyens culturellement particuliers et genres par lesquels les femmes immigrantes juives dans l'industrie du vetement au Canada ont negocie leur nouvel environnement urbain a travers diverses formes de manifestations ouvrieres, en demontrant comment le lieu de la manifestation a ete structure par le genre, l'ethnicite et la classe. L'espace urbain canadien a servi a la fois a faciliter l'integration sociale des femmes immigrees en permettant leur interaction avec les structures politiques et economiques canadiennes et a favoriser leur retention de modes de vie culturellement particuliers en leur offrant un espace et des sites pour des rassemblements a caractere politique qui non seulement ont renforce les traditions ethniques de ces ouvrieres mais ont aussi mis leur statut de femmes militantes au grand jour. La facon dont ces femmes grevistes se sont accommodees et ont resiste a la societe canadienne a egalement ete affectee par leurs representations anglo-canadiennes, l'evolution des tactiques syndicales--de radicales a conservatrices--et par des constructions sociales de genre, d'ethnicite et de classe.
