A 2010 University of Western Ontario PhD dissertation in history by Jessica van Horssen, supervised by Alan MacEachern, on the town of Asbestos, Quebec, and the Jeffrey Mine, which it calls the largest chrysotile asbestos mine in the world. Chapters on the land, human bodies and the town's body politic cover 1791 to 1983, including the 1949 strike. The author argues that Johns-Manville knew of asbestos health risks by the 1920s but kept this from workers, and draws on confidential company and medical files.
