| Description |
In “Creating Hegemony: Consensus by Exclusion in the Rowell-Sirois Commission,” Jessica Squires examines the circumstances under which this commission reached its conclusions in the 1930s about the feasibility of economic reform under the Canadian constitution. The author uses Gramsci’s concepts of ideological hegemony and historical blocks to argue that the commissioners brought their own policy vision to the hearings, and that this vision became the filter for deciding which representations were credible and which could be dismissed or cast aside, validating their own ideas of what constituted democracy, and, importantly, fighting socialism. The article also offers an interesting commentary on gender dynamics in the hearings process.
