Abstract:  No Bankers in Heaven is an oral history of men and women who devoted themselves to building the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, which advanced the cause of social justice in Canada between 1932 and 1957, when the CCF was transformed into the New Democratic Party. Melnyk interviewed former CCF activists about what it was like to work away at the grass roots for the CCF, which many saw as a social movement as much as a political party. The quality and interest of the reminiscences varies, but many contain interesting anecdotes and insights into the strengths and weaknesses of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation.
