Abstract

Purvis recounts the processes by which cannery workers, frequently led by women, "formed strategies for coping under harsh conditions in a "we versus them" alliance, and in so doing, member roles cut across social and racial lines to generate solidarity" (203). Purvis, Diane J. Ragged Coast, Rugged Coves: Labor, Culture, and Politics in Southeast Alaska Canneries. Purvis depicts the profound changes brought by canneries: "The Southeast Alaska Natives, who had fished in a wilderness setting from time immemorial, were now part of an industrial environment that was divorced from their ancient rapport with the water and land" (23).
