 The General Textile Strike of 1934 From Maine to Alabama John A. Salmond
Looking at the strike from a national and an industrywide perspective, Salmond explains why workers were willing to risk protesting and describes the differences and similarities between southern and northern workers.
Setting the strike within a New Deal context and focusing on its impact on the future of labor relations in the industry and on the lives of those who participated in it, The General Textile Strike of 1934 fills an important gap in American labor history.
John A. Salmond is Professor of American History and Pro Vice- Chancellor at La Trobe University in Bundoora, Victoria, Australia.

 IALHI News Service: 1934 General Textile Strike
Even more central to Salmond's argument, however, is his belief that the greatest disservice to real understanding results from the failure of prior analyses to appreciate that local and regional variations made the strike more a mosaic of distinctive confrontations than an overarching conflict viewed to equal advantage from every vantage point.
If he is merely repeating a truism in contending that all history, like all politics, is local, Salmond nevertheless performs a valuable service by reminding us that perspective does matter greatly when it comes to interpreting large, encompassing events like an industry-wide strike.
Of course Salmond's determination to interpret the 1934 textile strike as a collection of related but never identical episodes of labor conflict is hardly cost free.

 Theology Today - Vol 53, No. 2 - July 1996 - BOOK REVIEW - Gastonia 1929: The Story of the Loray Mill Strike
The fact that John A. Salmond is professor of history at La Trobe University in Australia evokes one of the themes of the book: how the textile strike of 1929 in Gastonia, North Carolina, brought that obscure town to international attention.
Salmond carefully documents the backgrounds, the strategies, and the conflicts between members of the Party who saw in Gastonia the opportunity for sweeping Southern industry to region-wide revolt against the paternalism and exploitation that dominated workers' lives.
Salmond quotes Pope from time to time but dwells little on the diverse ways in which religion influenced Southern industrialization before and after the fateful year of 1929.

 BBC Online - On The Record - Interviews
SALMOND: What I'm also saying is the history of this subject would tell you that the SNP would tend to vote for any measure that would advance the Scottish interest.
SALMOND: John, can I just say to you, I mean you've invited me to concede the next election and for the benefit of the programme I've done this, now you are inviting me to concede a second election, that we wouldn't win the assembly elections either.....
SALMOND: In the last Parliament of course, a Labour MP defected to the Scottish National Party John, it would be difficult wouldn't it for somebody in the Tory Party in Devon to defect to the SNP, that's not one of our great expectations.

 [No title]
Salmond discusses how the young Durr developed a penchant for hard work during his rigidly formalistic years of private education in Montgomery, Alabama.
At this point in the book, Salmond very subtly gives us an important clue to understanding the level of dedication that Durr had come to have for issues of individual rights, one that sets the stage for the role that he would play in Montgomery from the mid-fifties to the mid-sixties.
John Salmond is to be commended not just for chronicling the events in Clifford Durr's life in such an interesting manner, but for an absolutely superb job in explaining why Clifford Durr took the stands that he did.

 Union Made - New York Times
Thus, despite the brevity of the strike, Gastonia took on mythic proportions in subsequent years -- depending on your point of view, either as the symbol of left-wing attempts to subvert the "Southern way of life" or as the welcome harbinger of the radical ferment of the 1930's.
Salmond denies that he is offering any "overarching thesis" in his book.
Salmond, "There is no doubt that the constant emphasis on the alien, menacing nature" of the National Textile Workers Union organizers, "the threat that they posed to basic traditions and values, did contribute to the growing climate of violence in Gaston County and gave sanction to the violent incidents that did occur."

While some party sources have welcomed the move amid hopes that a return by Salmond will revitalise the party, the party’s MSPs have claimed that Salmond is aiming to undermine the current leadership.

 WashingtonPost.com: The War the Union Lost in Dixie
Their cause was a legitimate one, even if those who took over the management of it did so out of ulterior motives; indeed, their involvement set back that cause for decades.
John Salmond is an Australian scholar with a particular interest in the American South.
If he has any axes to grind, they are not evident in "Gastonia 1929." He does, to be sure, argue that "divisions in the Gastonia community" were "essentially class-based," but this seems founded in the facts of the matter rather than in the prevailing academic fascination with race, class and gender.

John Salmond and his elder brother, Geoffrey, would become the only brothers to both hold the post of Chief of the Air Staff and although John was the youngest, he would lead the promotion race between them throughout their careers.
However, with the forthcoming formation of the RAF and the appointment of Trenchard as CAS, Salmond returned to France to replace Trenchard as GOC of the RFC in France.
Resigning in April 1933 to be replaced by his elder brother, Sir Geoffrey, he found himself in the unenviable position of having to temporarily re-occupy the post owing to the death of his brother whilst in office.

Trying to tell a richly detailed version of the turbulеnt and triumphant history of the civil rights movement in under 200 pages is a risky thing, but John A. Salmond, a professor of American history at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia, has produced a text that speaks equally to the college studеnt and educator.
Citing the origins of the civil rights movement in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Nеw Deal policies of the 1930s, Salmond highlights the sit-ins, political organizations, riots, and the often brutal response of the United States government.
John Salmond has done a great job of hitting the "high points".

Focusing on the Vanity Fair sewing factory in Jackson, Alabama, Haberland traces efforts there at union organization, clearly illustrating race as a variable that made the plant a microcosm of the tensions and changes surging against its walls.
Without exception, Clayton and Salmond's selections are superbly researched and well written, a rarity in the world of essay collections, routinely uneven in quality.
Yet nothing in the book is more valuable than Anne Firor Scott's introduction, in which she recounts changes in the field of women's history since she has been engaging in its practice, including an 11-point list that ranges from a discussion of topics and sources to the practitioners themselves.
