Lou Martin weaves the narrative of how the relocation of steel and pottery factories to Hancock County, West Virginia, created a rural and small-town working class - and what that meant for communities and for labor. The result is an illuminating consideration of capital mobility, the ways in which changing work experiences defined gender roles, and the erroneous but persistent myth that modernizing forces bulldozed docile local cultures.Working class in American history.IndustrializationWest VirginiaRural industriesWest VirginiaRural developmentWest VirginiaWorking classWest VirginiaFactoriesWest VirginiaWest VirginiafastIndustrializationRural industriesRural developmentWorking classFactories303.48Martin Lou1538487MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910796224703321Smokestacks in the hills3788537UNINA
