加拿大的历史学家们,以及他们在美国和欧洲的同事们,直到最近都还在忽视人权史。加拿大的学者们在过去的十年里已经开始认识到这个缺陷,从人权视角出发对少数民族和种族、有组织的劳工、法律、社会激进主义和其他题目进行研究。这些研究表明,有组织的劳工和政治左派都处于加拿大权利革命的前沿。不应该低估这个历史的遗产:例如,加拿大的人权法律体系是今天世界上最为复杂的。在加拿大关于劳工和人权的历史编纂学中有三个重要特征,将劳工运动作为社会运动、加拿大的权利文化以及人权法律的动因。
Canadian historians, as well as their colleagues in the United States and Europe, have until recently ignored the history of human rights. Over the past decade, Canadian scholars have begun to recognize this flaw and conduct a study of ethnic and racial, organized labor, law, social activism and other issues from a human rights perspective. These studies show that both organized labor and political left are at the forefront of the Canadian rights revolution. The heritage of this history should not be underestimated: for example, Canada’s human rights legal system is one of the most complicated in the world today. There are three important characteristics in Canadian historiography on labor and human rights that use the labor movement as a motivation for social movements, Canadian rights culture and human rights law.
