With references to the Civil War, both World Wars, and the early history of the United States and Canada, it is an offering that is both personal and historical. Author trudy chiswell has traced her family lineage and written an engaging, meaningful record for her relatives and descendants. Filled with eyewitness accounts, primary documents, photos, and ancestry charts, it’s a book in which readers will learn about the struggles faced in early settlements, the tragedies brought by conflict, and the unique characteristics of many individuals in the family tree. Although written for the author’s family, this thought-provoking, educational, and heart-warming account of one family’s journey through life over the generations will engage readers at various levels of connection to the Bernstein family.

For this reason, the book does not restrict the analysis of issues such as the free/unfree labour distinction and non-class identity to Third World contexts. The reviews, review essays and essays collected here also examine similar issues now evident in metropolitan capitalism, together with their political and ideological effects and implications.
