Hobohemia and the Crucifixion MachineRival Images of a New World in 1930s Vancouver
Todd McCallum ‘‘This engaging, creative, and sometimes annoying work will force substantial re-thinking on the depression and on the theoretical frameworks used by historians. The theoretical interventions, powerful and insightful arguments, and deep empirical research will interest scholars of history, sociology, economics, business, literary criticism, and others.
—Mark Leier, Simon Fraser University
McCallum explores the connections between the history of transiency and that of Fordism, offering a new interpretation of the methods used by Vancouver’s Relief Department when thousands of unemployed homeless transients formed “hobo jungles” in the city during the early years of the Great Depression.
