520 1 $a"Displacement of people, migration, immigration and the demand for labour are connected to the fundamental restructuring of capitalism and to the reduction of working-class power through legislation to free the market from "state interference." The result is that a large number of immigrant and temporary foreign workers face relentless competition and little in the way of protection in the labour market. Globally and in Canada, immigrant workers are not passive in the face of these conditions: they survive and fight back. This book documents their struggles and analyzes those struggles within the context of neoliberal globalization and international and national labour markets. Fight Back grew out of collaboration between a group of university-affiliated researchers/activists and the Immigrant Centre in Montreal. The book shares with us the experience of immigrant workers in a variety of workplaces. It is based on the belief that the best kind of research comes from people's lived experiences and consequently tells it "how it really is.""--BOOK JACKET.
