Where it came from
The Big Nickel was published in 1977 by Between the Lines, an independent Canadian publishing house established in 1977 with a focus on critical social and political issues. The book serves as a historical examination of the mining industry in Sudbury, Ontario, particularly the relationship between the local workforce and the corporate interests that shaped the region's economy and social structure during the mid-20th century.
Author Jamie Swift wrote the work during a period of heightened labor activism and regional inquiry into the environmental and human costs of nickel extraction. The book is regarded as a foundational text in Canadian labor literature, noted for its straightforward, investigative approach to documenting the influence of multinational corporations on working-class communities, and it remains a key reference for those studying Ontario’s industrial history.
