Working-Class Community in Industrial America : Work, Leisure, and Struggle in Two Industrial Cities, 1880-1930

Working-Class Community in Industrial America : Work, Leisure, and Struggle in Two Industrial Cities, 1880-1930

Based on the research for Cumbler's 1974 dissertation, "Continuity and Disruption," this text is a narrower (twenty years fewer), illustrated exploration of ethnicity woven through the working-class communities of Lynn and Fall River, Massachusetts. A local labor history of two New England mill towns. From a review of by Donald H. Stewart, SUNY Cortland: "Cumbler concentrates on two Massachusetts cities - Lynn, a late-nineteenth century shoe manufacturing center, and Fall River, a leading textile producer. Contradicting historians who argue that upward mobility and ethnic competition prevented American coherent class solidarity, he finds much of it in both municipalities."
