"Examining the history of human rights in Canada from 1930 to 1960, the period just before the emergence of contemporary human rights groups, Repression and Resistance focuses on the activists who fought against what they perceived to be the major injustices of the time - the Quebec anti-Communist padlock law, the violation of civil liberties during the war, the post-war attempt to deport Japanese Canadians, civil liberties violations during the Cold War - and who became involved with campaigns to obtain effective anti-discrimination legislation and the struggle to put in place a bill of rights."--Jacket. |
