Abstract

This paper draws on a case study of Hamilton steelwork families to examine how the neo-conservative agenda is incorporated and resisted in a specific, historically constituted locality. Here the local conditions of capital led to strong labour movement and relatively good pay permitting the emergence of the breadwinner family. It is argued that these factors affect the ways in which new right ideology and feminism are apprehended and incorporated into local culture.
