- Title
DEFENDING INTERNATIONALISM IN INTERWAR BROKEN HILL.
- Authors
Gregson, Sarah
- Abstract
In the 1920's and early 1930's, Broken Hill workers were divided over the presence of southern European immigrants in the mines. Nevertheless, strong antiracist opposition from within the miners union toward the racism of returned soldier Richard Gully stood in stark contrast to the role of mine managers, conservative local newspapers, and other Returned Soldiers' Association activists who employed racism as a classic "divide-and-rule" industrial strategy. As a companion piece to the author's work on the 1934 Kalgoorlie race riots, this article provides further confirmation that internationalist responses to migrant workers were not unknown in the Australian labor movement in this period.
