This thesis displays how the adjustments within the maritime landscape of the Noord river evolved throughout the nineteenth and twentieth century. The main turning point being the 1953 Watersnoodramp, that led to the formulation of the Deltaplan and the revision of the Dutch delta. Following this event the dykes of the Noord river were to be revised and eventually adjusted, affecting the inhabitants of the area and hereby causing major changes within the social structures of the Noord river dykes.Show less

Using a combination of ego documents and newly produced sources, this thesis seeks to illuminate three particular areas of neglect relating to the dockers’ emotions and identities, their international campaign, and the legacy of their movement. Central to this is an approach that embeds social movement concepts – and theories on emotions, narratives, and collective memory - within an account of the dispute’s beginning, development, and end. Ultimately, the findings of this study enable a series of broader conclusions about the usefulness of oral history, and the importance of concepts such as emotion, identity, and memory to the field of industrial relations more widely.Show less
