Description

Steven Maynard, "Queer Musings on Masculinity and History," Labour/Le Travail, 42 (Fall 1998), 183-97. NOT LONG AFTER I first met Ed Jackson, an activist whose political roots go back to the early days of the gay liberation movement in Canada, he drew my attention to an article that appeared in the very first issue of what was then called Labour/Le Travailleur. Published in 1976, "To the Dartmouth Station: A Worker's Eye View of Labour History" was meant to be a humorous parody of a conversation between a dockworker and a construction worker about labour history. Much of the article's "humour" rested upon replaying stereotypical expressions of working-class sexism, homophobia and anti-intellectualism. As Ed indicated to me, the sexist comments about women's bodies were vaguely challenged within the fictional frame of the conversation, while references to "longhaired professor fags" were allowed to stand as is. Ed, who I think would consider himself a friend of labour's cause, did not at the time find this piece amusing, only disappointing and irritating. In 1976, he wanted to write a letter to the editor of the journal, but, much to his regret, he never did so. (1)
