It is based upon a close reading of thousands of pages of documents declassified under Canada's Access to Information Act (ATI). Spotted Throughout with Red considers both the machinations of the security service and the rise and fall of the feminist movement, with particular attention paid to its broad transnational origins and influences and the elusive quest for unity across lines of ideology, identity, and sexuality, among other markers of difference. Spying on the women's liberation movement is an example of the broadening of state surveillance from a narrow anti-Communist focus to a variety of domestic targets identified with the left. At the same time, state surveillance of the women's liberation movement, which focused mainly on gender equality, differed from spying on other women's organizations connected to trade unionism or communism. Crucially, the files show how this male-dominated police force, staffed only by men until 1974, had particular expectations and interpretations of the women liberationists' appearance and behaviour which coloured their understanding of a movement intent on sparking a revolutionary reboot of gender relations. They also reveal the use of women informants, which significantly troubles the notion of sisterhood and has potentially serious consequences for those who took part in the movement. The authors reflect on the historiographical, methodological, and ethical challenges associated with using state surveillance files. Rising to the surface is the form and texture of everyday activism and surveillance, and the multiple ways in which those quotidian realities interconnected over time. By positioning surveillance of the women's liberation movement in Canada firmly within the context of the Cold War, the book aims to contribute to scholarship in surveillance studies, widen our understanding of state surveillance during the "long sixties," and to provide a new perspective on the history of feminist activism. More broadly, domestic surveillance of second wave feminism is a critical bridge linking a period that concentrated on communism and subversion in the late 20th century to a focus on terrorism and extremism in the 21st century."-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Royal Canadian Mounted Police $x History $y 20th century. 610 27 $a Royal Canadian Mounted Police. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00551675 611 27 $a Cold War (1945-1989) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01754978 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Sociology / General. $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Intelligence service $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Internal security $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Feminism $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women $x History $z Canada $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Cold War. 650 7 $a Feminism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922671 650 7 $a Intelligence service. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975848 650 7 $a Internal security. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00976624 650 7 $a Women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734136 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Hewitt, Steve, $e author. 776 1 $a Sethna, Christabelle Laura, 1961-, author. $t Just watch us.: $d Montreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, 2018. $w (CaOONL)20179070657 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217024221.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=272086982E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
