Using the fishing industry in British Columbia as a case study, Alicja Muszynski examines how Marx's labour theory of value can be applied to a specific industry and the creation of a specific labour force. She reworks Marx's theory in order to incorporate race and gender as principles that not only created a proletarianized labour force but also legitimized the payment of cheap wages to particular groups.
