Reseña del libro "Coady (en Inglés)"
Moses Coady (1882-1959), was a Roman Catholic Priest born in Margaree, Nova Scotia who famously inspired and led The Antigonish Movement: the co-operative education / economic movement that spread internationally during the mid-twentieth century. COADY explores Moses Coady's personal triumphs and misgivings alongside a contemporary historian's attempt to reconcile the spirit of Twentieth Century revolutionary economics with the vanishing political resistance of post-industrial Atlantic Canada. The Antigonish Movement blended adult education, co-operatives, microfinance and rural community development to help small, resource-based communities around Canada's Maritimes to improve their economic and social circumstances. A group of priests and educators, including Coady, led this movement from a base at the Extension Department at St. Francis Xavier University (St. F.X.) in Antigonish, NS. The credit union system owes its origins to the Antigonish Movement. Coady argued that if workers took the time to understand their circumstances and assumed the risks of co-operative action, they could achieve economic security and greater freedom and self-realization. Unlike other biographical work on Coady and the Antigonish Movement, Cape Breton native Calabrese uses archival material and the Coady papers to focus on private misgivings and personal struggles in addition to his contributions to the co-operative movement and social justice. It is also a metahistory that asks questions about how we mythologize our past and form our cultural identities.
